Print Recipe

A quick and easy 5-minute prep snack mix featuring crispy roasted chickpeas coated in Parmesan and ranch seasoning. Perfect for parties, movie nights, or a healthy alternative to chips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix (half a 1-ounce packet)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly under cold water.
  3. Dry the chickpeas completely by spreading them on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and patting dry. Let them air-dry for 5 minutes.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the grated Parmesan, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, salt (if using), and black pepper.
  5. Add the dried chickpeas to the bowl with the olive oil and toss until lightly coated.
  6. Pour the Parmesan-ranch mixture over the oiled chickpeas and toss gently until each chickpea is coated.
  7. Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are not touching.
  8. Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring at the 15-minute mark, until golden brown and crispy.
  9. Let the chickpeas cool completely on the baking sheet for at least 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra crispy chickpeas, remove the skins before roasting. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Re-crisp in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes if needed.
