Description
Crispy roasted chickpeas tossed in ranch-style seasonings make for a flavorful, crunchy snack or salad topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15 oz.) (425 g) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained, rinsed, and dried completely
- Olive oil mist or cooking spray
- 2 tbsp homemade ranch seasoning or your favorite seasonings
Instructions
- Preheat the oven with chickpeas inside: Spread the dried chickpeas on a large baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching. Place the baking sheet in a cold oven and set the temperature to 400 degrees F.
- Roast the chickpeas: After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Lightly spray the chickpeas with olive oil mist or cooking spray, ensuring they are not too oily. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp of ranch seasoning or your preferred seasoning. Gently shake or stir the chickpeas to evenly coat them with oil and seasoning.
- Continue roasting: Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 15-20 minutes.
- Cool in the oven: Turn off the oven and leave the chickpeas inside until the oven has completely cooled. For quicker cooling, you can leave the oven door open slightly.
Notes
- Ensure chickpeas are completely dry before roasting to achieve maximum crunchiness.
- Use a large baking sheet to avoid overcrowding, which can prevent crisping.
- Experiment with different seasonings like salt and cinnamon for variety.
- Homemade ranch seasoning is recommended for the best flavor.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain crispiness.
