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

- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve while warm or at room temperature. (Hint: They’re best when enjoyed immediately.)
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.
Serves 2–4
