To Traeger up some Roasted Chickpeas:
- Start your Traeger on Smoke with lid open until the fire is established (4-5 minutes). Set the temperature to High (450°F) and preheat, lid closed (10-15 minutes).
- Distribute the garbanzo beans evenly on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Place the baking sheet on the Traeger and toast the garbanzo beans for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crunchy. Remove from the grill and allow them to cool. Sprinkle them on salads as a healthier crouton, or eat them by the handful!
