Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon buffalo sauce

1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

Optional: fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures a crispy texture for your chickpeas.

    Prepare the Chickpeas: After draining and rinsing the chickpeas, spread them out on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to dry thoroughly. Removing as much moisture as possible is key to achieving that perfect crunch.

      Mix the Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, buffalo sauce, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and salt. Whisk until the ingredients are well incorporated.

        Coat the Chickpeas: Add the dried chickpeas to the bowl with the seasoning mix. Toss gently until all the chickpeas are evenly coated in the flavorful mixture.

          Bake the Chickpeas: Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through to ensure even cooking. Remove them once they are golden brown and crispy.

            Cool and Serve: Allow the roasted chickpeas to cool slightly before serving. For an extra touch, garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired. Enjoy them as a snack, salad topper, or party appetizer!
