The Technique

1. In a bowl, mix cinnamon and sugar. Store in an airtight container in dry storage until ready to use.

2. For Cinnamon Sugar Flatbreads: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lay flatbreads on a parchment lined sheet pan. Lightly spray flatbreads with pan spray. Sprinkle each flatbread with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon sugar mix. Cut into sticks using a pizza cutter. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown and lightly crisp. Cool to room temperature and serve.

3. For Garbanzo Beans: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Drain and rinse beans and toss with 1/2 cup oil. Place on a parchment lined sheet pan and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until all beans are crispy. Stirring occasionally during the cooking process to prevent outside rim of beans from over cooking.

4. Remove beans from oven and toss with ½ cup of cinnamon sugar. *Toss beans when hot to make sure cinnamon sugar sticks to the beans evenly.

5. Let cool and serve at room temperature. These will keep for up to 5-7 days stored in an airtight container in a dry storage.

6. Cut watermelon into wedges, keeping rind on.

7. CCP: keep cold, below 41 degrees, until service.

Recipe notes:

  • To keep garbanzo beans fresh while in the grab and go box, make sure they are packaged with a lid while in the same container as watermelon and cucumber, to prevent from getting soggy.
  • To keep flatbreads fresh while in the grab and go box, make sure they are packaged in a sealed bag while in the same container as watermelon and cucumber, to prevent from getting soggy.
  • Flatbreads and garbanzo beans can be made the day before.
  • Whole grain tortillas can be used in place of the flatbreads.
  • If offer vs. serve is not used, add a Horizon Organic Low fat UHT milk to complete the meal.
