Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- 2 tbsps ranch seasoning mix
Instructions
- Drain and thoroughly blot chickpeas with clean kitchen towels to remove excess moisture, ensuring maximum crispiness.
- Drizzle olive oil over chickpeas and generously coat with ranch seasoning, massaging mixture to distribute evenly.
- Arrange chickpeas in a single, uncrowded layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet to promote uniform roasting.
- Position baking sheet in preheated 400°F oven, creating space between chickpeas for hot air circulation.
- Rotate chickpeas midway through cooking process to encourage consistent golden-brown coloration and crisp texture.
- Roast for approximately 25-30 minutes until chickpeas develop a crunchy exterior and deep golden hue.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes, allowing chickpeas to firm up and achieve optimal crispness.
- Transfer to serving dish, seasoning with additional ranch powder if desired for enhanced flavor profile.
Notes
- Ensure chickpeas are completely dry before roasting to achieve maximum crispiness, preventing soggy results.
- Experiment with different seasonings like smoked paprika or garlic powder for varied flavor profiles.
- Store cooled roasted chickpeas in an airtight container to maintain crunchiness for up to a week.
- For a gluten-free option, use homemade ranch seasoning or verify store-bought mix ingredients.
