These crunchy Ranch Roasted Chickpeas are a healthy snack. Add them to a salad, serve them as an appetizer or take them on the go!
Making your own roasted chickpeas is really easy and they are cheaper than store-bought. They are great for adding a crunchy texture to salads or a Buddha bowl.
I like to pack some in my purse so that I'm prepared for when hunger strikes.
The ranch seasoning works great in a Hemp Ranch Dressing and on Ranch Kale Chips as well.
For a dressing with fresh herbs, try my Vegan Ranch Dressing.

🔪 Instructions
Step 1: Dry chickpeas and remove as many of the skins as possible with a clean towel. Roll the towel over the chickpeas and the skins will come off. The chickpeas will get dried off at the same time.
Step 2: Mix the chickpeas with olive oil and roast until they are crispy.
Step 3: Immediately mix with ranch seasoning, which is made up of dried parsley, dried dill, nutritional yeast, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt.
🥡 Storage
If they are thoroughly dried (make sure to remove those skins), roasted until crunchy, and stored in an airtight container they will last longer than two weeks.
I had a batch of roasted chickpeas that lasted a little over a month. They might have lasted longer had I not finished them off.
💭 Tips
- You may be tempted to skip the drying process. It's necessary because the skins hold a lot of water.
- As always, taste as you go. You may want more or less of an herb in the ranch seasoning. You can always add more, but you can't take it away.
- It's important to add the seasoning after roasting the chickpeas because otherwise the seasoning burns on the chickpeas.
