Since I'm a bit concerned with my diet, I've been focused on ways to avoid voices of the vending machine demons and their seductive offerings of savory treats that call me at about 2 pm.
A can of Bush's cannellini are about 400 calories. Not low cal, but healthy. I took a can of these, drained them, added about a T of olive oil, cracked white pepper, coarse salt and dried basil, spread them on a black baking sheet and baked them for an hour at 300°F.
They pop!
Then, they finish roasting with with awesome spicy flavor and wonderfully crispy texture. The image says a lot. Give 'em a try.

Oh man, I'm on it!
These do look great, I'm giving it a try.

Last night, I followed your recipe for the beans, magnificent. I'm eating them as I type. Do you mind if I take them to the next step? Enter the smoker.
Go baby, go!
The other day, I went to Med Imports and asked the owner about roasting chickpeas. She said you can't roast a cooked bean. The chickpeas need to be soaked, then roasted. Then, I bought some, presumably prepared in the way she described. They were interesting, but chalky. So, any prep's fair game as far as I can tell.
With the cannellini, the only bummer I found was they get soft if they get put in plastic bags. Otherwise, yum, thrilled you liked 'em. Can't wait for the smoked ones.
