Ranch Roasted Chickpeas Recipe

Introduction

Ranch Roasted Chickpeas are a crunchy and flavorful snack that’s perfect for anytime munching. Infused with classic ranch herbs and spices, these chickpeas offer a healthy alternative to chips and are easy to prepare at home.

Ingredients

• 1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added chickpeas, rinsed
• 1½ tablespoons avocado oil
• 1 teaspoon dried chives
• 1 teaspoon dried dill
• 1 teaspoon dried tarragon or parsley
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground pepper

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Step 2: Drain and rinse the chickpeas well. Spread them on a clean kitchen towel and pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
3. Step 3: In a medium bowl, combine the avocado oil, dried chives, dried dill, dried tarragon or parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and ground pepper.
4. Step 4: Add the dried chickpeas to the seasoning mixture and stir until they are evenly coated.
5. Step 5: Spread the chickpeas in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet.
6. Step 6: Roast in the preheated oven, stirring once halfway through, until the chickpeas are lightly browned and crispy, about 30 to 35 minutes.
7. Step 7: Remove from the oven and let the roasted chickpeas cool completely for about 20 minutes before serving.

Tips & Variations

• For extra crunch, press the chickpeas between towels to remove as much moisture as possible before seasoning.
• Try swapping dried tarragon for parsley or oregano to tailor the herb flavor to your liking.
• If you prefer a spicier snack, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the seasoning mix.

Storage

Store cooled roasted chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain their crunch. If they soften, reheat briefly in a 350°F oven for 5 to 10 minutes to crisp them up again.

FAQs

Can I use canned chickpeas with salt added?

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for roasting the chickpeas evenly and to crispness.
