Ingredients
- 2 cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained (about 15 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for roasting the chickpeas to a perfect crisp.
- Prepare Chickpeas: Rinse the chickpeas thoroughly under cold water and then pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which is key for crispy results.
- Season Chickpeas: In a mixing bowl, toss the dry chickpeas with olive oil and ranch seasoning mix until each chickpea is evenly coated with the flavorful seasoning.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single, even layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the chickpeas for 25-30 minutes, tossing them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they brown evenly and become crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Once golden brown and crispy, remove the chickpeas from the oven and allow them to cool slightly to crisp up further before enjoying them as a snack.
Notes
- Make sure to dry the chickpeas thoroughly before roasting to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Toss the chickpeas halfway through roasting to promote even browning.
- Store cooled roasted chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for best texture.
- Customize the seasoning by using other spice blends like taco or barbecue if desired.
- If you want extra crunch, remove the skins from chickpeas before roasting, although it’s optional and takes extra time.
