Crispy Ranch Chickpea Bowls

I call for a ranch seasoning blend here. I used this Garden Ranch Seasoning Mix from Primal Palate. It can be found in the spice section at most grocers and is attended to be used to make a ranch dip. I’m sure other brands would work, but I wouldn’t recommend using a Hidden Valley Ranch packet. If you can’t find ranch blend, it is quite easy to make.

If you can’t do dairy or find halloumi, you can either swap in a marinated tofu, or marinate extra-firm tofu in some coconut aminos and toasted sesame oil, or leave it out altogether. It does add a salty bite, so green olives could be a nice substitution. Halloumi is sold in the cheese section at most grocers, usually near the feta.

The elements can be made in advance and stored in airtight containers in the fridge for a week.
