Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons 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 black pepper

¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Chickpeas: After draining and rinsing the chickpeas, ensure they are completely dry by patting them with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving maximum crunch!

      Season: In a mixing bowl, combine the dry chickpeas with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, dried parsley, ranch seasoning, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Toss until the chickpeas are well coated in the seasoning mixture.

        Spread on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer.

          Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through to ensure even cooking. Keep an eye on them in the last few minutes; they should be golden brown and crunchy.

            Cool: Once baked, remove the chickpeas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.

              Serve: Enjoy your Crunchy Garlic Ranch Chickpeas as a wholesome snack on their own, or sprinkle them on salads for an extra crunch!
