In my household we love anything that is ranch flavored, and one of my go to snacks is homemade roasted chick peas that are ranch flavored. This is one of the easiest recipes ever. You literally need only 3 indredients!

Ingredients:

1 can of chick peas (15 ounces) – drained

1 tbsp olive oil

  2. Open you can of chick peas and drain them.
  3. Place chick peas in your oven, or Foodi grill and cook for 30 minutes. Check after 15 minutes to stir to make sure they are heated evenly and don’t burn on one side.
  4. After the 15 minute mark check your chick peas approximately every 5 minutes to see if they have reached your desired crispiness. My chick peas cooked for 27 minutes in my Ninja Foodi Grill.
  5. Remove baked chick peas and coat with olive oil.

Hummus is quick and easy to make with this recipe. Make your own hummus that is better tasting than the one you buy at the grocery store.
