Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chickpeas and season with the chili powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until crisp, about 12 minutes.
For the dressing: Add the Caesar dressing to a bowl. Stir in the pesto, black pepper to taste and chili powder, if using. Set aside.
Add the romaine to a large bowl. Add the dressing and toss to coat. Place on a platter, then drain the chickpeas on a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle the crispy chickpeas over the salad while they are still hot. Shave over the Parmesan and scatter the parsley leaves, then enjoy.
