Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, thoroughly drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried dill

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1 teaspoon ranch seasoning mix

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

¼ teaspoon salt (adjust according to your taste)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the chickpeas.

    Prepare the Chickpeas: After draining and rinsing the chickpeas, use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to pat them dry. Ensuring they are completely dry is vital for them to achieve maximum crunchiness during baking.

      Season the Chickpeas: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the dry chickpeas with the olive oil. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, dried parsley, ranch seasoning mix, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Toss thoroughly until all the chickpeas are evenly coated with the flavorful seasoning blend.

        Spread on Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spread the seasoned chickpeas out in a single, even layer, ensuring they aren't overcrowded.

          Bake the Chickpeas: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Shake the pan halfway through the baking time to promote even cooking. Keep a close eye on them in the last few minutes; they should be golden brown and crunchy to the bite.

            Cool Down: Once done, carefully remove the chickpeas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. They will become even crunchier as they cool down.

              Serve and Enjoy: These Crunchy Garlic Ranch Chickpeas make for a delicious and healthy snack on their own, or you can sprinkle them over salads or grain bowls for an added crunch and flavor boost!
