Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for roasting the chickpeas evenly.
Prepare Chickpeas: Rinse the chickpeas thoroughly under cold water, then pat them dry completely with paper towels to remove excess moisture for better crispiness.
Season Chickpeas: In a mixing bowl, toss the dried chickpeas with olive oil and ranch seasoning mix until each chickpea is evenly coated with flavor.
Arrange for Roasting: Spread the seasoned chickpeas on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single, even layer to promote even roasting and crisping.
Roast Chickpeas: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring or tossing halfway through to ensure all sides become golden brown and crispy.
Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the chickpeas cool slightly to firm up the crisp texture before enjoying them as a tasty and healthy snack.

Notes

Patting the chickpeas dry thoroughly is key to achieving maximum crispiness.
You can customize the seasoning by using your favorite spice blends instead of ranch.
Store leftover roasted chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
For extra crunch, roast for an additional 5 minutes, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
