Buffalo-Flavored Garbanzo Beans

What’s not to love about buffalo sauce? It’s tangy and spicy, and it pairs well with so many things—including crunchy garbanzo beans.

Ingredients:
  • 1 (15-oz.) can no-salt-added garbanzo beans (chickpeas), well drained
  • 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp. hot pepper sauce
  • 2 tsp. white wine vinegar
  • ¼ tsp. sea salt


Print Recipe
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
  2. Add the beans and oil to a medium bowl; toss to combine. Add the hot pepper sauce, white wine vinegar, and salt; toss to combine.
  3. Arrange beans in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake until the beans are crisp on the outside and still creamy in the center, about 25 minutes.
  4. Serve while warm or at room temperature. (Hint: They’re best when enjoyed immediately.)


  5. Tip: There’s no need to rinse beans when choosing a no-salt-added variety. But if you prefer rinsing them, go for it. To ensure they’re well drained, wrap in a clean kitchen towel before using here.
