Ingredients
- 2 cans chickpeas (rinsed and drained, about 15 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting the chickpeas evenly and achieving a crispy texture.
- Prepare chickpeas: Rinse the chickpeas thoroughly under cold water to remove any canning liquid and excess sodium, then pat them dry completely using paper towels. Removing moisture is key for crispiness.
- Season chickpeas: In a large bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with the olive oil and ranch seasoning mix, ensuring every chickpea is evenly coated for maximum flavor.
- Arrange chickpeas for roasting: Spread the seasoned chickpeas on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single, even layer. This prevents overcrowding and promotes even roasting.
- Roast chickpeas: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes. Toss the chickpeas halfway through to promote even browning. Roast until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and allow the chickpeas to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Cooling helps them become even crispier and safe to eat.
Notes
- Make sure to dry the chickpeas thoroughly to achieve maximum crispiness.
- You can adjust the ranch seasoning amount to suit your taste preference.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For extra crunch, you can roast a few extra minutes but watch carefully to avoid burning.
