Zesty Ranch Chickpeas

Crunchy chickpeas are an easy snack to make and pack. Plenty of fun flavors can be added, and it seems that most kids love ranch! High in protein and fiber, this snack is one everyone will be pleased with. Ditch those unhealthy potato chips for this one!

Ingredients

1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 tbsp. olive oil
1½ tbsp. ranch seasoning mix (make sure the mix is labeled gluten free)
1 tsp. salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 400° F. Rinse and lightly pat dry chickpeas. Place peas in a bowl and toss with olive oil. Add seasoning blend and salt, then mix well until everything is evenly coated. Pour mixture onto a large foiled baking sheet. Spread everything out evenly and roast in preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes. Check them continuously so they don’t burn. Once crispy, allow to cool and then store in an air-tight container.
