Ingredients
Scale
Chickpeas
- 1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added chickpeas, rinsed
Seasoning and Oil
- 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
- 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.
- Prepare Chickpeas: Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly in a colander under cold water. Place them on a clean kitchen towel and pat dry completely to remove moisture for better roasting results.
- Mix Seasoning: In a medium bowl, combine the avocado oil with dried chives, dill, tarragon or parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and ground pepper. Stir until well blended to create a flavorful ranch seasoning mix.
- Coat Chickpeas: Add the dried chickpeas to the seasoning bowl and toss thoroughly to coat each chickpea evenly with the oil and herb mixture.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the coated chickpeas in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet to allow for even roasting and crisping without steaming.
- Roast: Roast the chickpeas in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure all sides brown lightly and become crispy.
- Cool Down: Remove the sheet from the oven and let the chickpeas cool on the baking sheet for about 20 minutes, allowing them to crisp up further before eating or storing.
Notes
- Patting the chickpeas dry is essential to achieve maximum crispness during roasting.
- You can substitute dried tarragon with parsley based on your flavor preference or what’s available.
- Store any leftover roasted chickpeas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to keep them crunchy.
- For extra crunch, you can roast them a few minutes longer but watch carefully to avoid burning.
- This recipe is easy to customize by adding other seasonings such as smoked paprika or chili powder for a different twist.
