Ingredients
  

2 cans (15 oz each) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)

¼ teaspoon black pepper

Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Chickpeas: After draining and rinsing the chickpeas, spread them on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Gently pat them dry to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial for achieving maximum crunch.

      Toss with Oil and Seasoning: In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried chickpeas and olive oil. Toss until the chickpeas are well coated. Add the ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until all chickpeas are evenly coated in the mixture.

        Spread on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they are not too crowded.

          Roast Chickpeas: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the chickpeas for 25-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through. Keep an eye on them to make sure they don’t burn; they should be golden and crunchy.

            Cool and Serve: Once roasted to your desired crunchiness, remove the chickpeas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve them warm or at room temperature. If desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

              Enjoy: Crunchy ranch roasted chickpeas make a perfect snack, salad topper, or appetizer. Enjoy the flavor and the crunch!
