Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Pierce your potatoes a few times with a fork and place on a foil lined baking sheet. For extra crispy skins, rub with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
- Bake 45-60 minutes until tender.
- While your potatoes bake, drain the chickpeas in a colander or sieve and rinse well.
- Pat the chickpeas dry with a clean dishtowel or paper towels. The drier the chickpeas, the crispier your end result. If you have time, leave them to air-dry for a few minutes, and remove any chickpea skins that come off while drying.
- Toss with oil and salt until all your little garbanzos are coated, then arrange in an even layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast on the center rack for 20-25 minutes until crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. I add them to the oven with my sweet potatoes after they've been in the oven for 20-25 minutes usually.
- Once your potatoes, allow to cool slightly and slice vertically.
- Snag your chickpeas from the oven and, while still hot, add them to a bowl with your paprika (I used regular, not smoked, for this one) and if you'd like some extra heat, you can add a little cayenne pepper to the mix too. I always do! Toss/mix to coat.
- Whisk melted butter and hot sauce together and pour over chickpeas. Mix until coated.
- Taste and adjust as needed. This is the part where I start eating the entire thing of buffalo chickpeas with a spoon. My bad!
- Divide your saucy chickpeas every between the 4 sweet potatoes and top with diced jalapeños, green onion, and all your favorite toppings from the list above! I went with chopped cabbage, ranch, and extra hot sauce - YUM!
Notes
- Short on time? You can microwave your sweet potatoes instead of baking them!
- Pierce with a fork and cook on high for 7-8 minutes. Depending on size, yours may be done quicker or require an extra minute or two. Top with your buffalo chickpea filling and pile high with your choice of toppings!
