Preheat and prepare the chickpeas

• Preheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F).
• Drain and pat the chickpeas dry, then spread them on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Drizzle with the olive oil and toss to coat evenly.

Bake the chickpeas

• Bake the chickpeas until they start to crisp up, keeping the oven on afterwards.

Add the flavors

• Remove the chickpeas from the oven and sprinkle with the ranch seasoning, then toss to coat.
• Push the chickpeas closer together on the baking sheet and cover them with the grated parmesan.

Finish baking

• Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and crispy.
• Let it cool before breaking into pieces.

Serve

• Enjoy as a snack, on a cheeseboard, or as high-protein croutons for salads.
