Buffalo Hot Sauce Roasted Chickpeas
Buffalo Hot Sauce Roasted Chickpeas are a crunchy snack featuring chickpeas roasted until crisp, then coated with multiple layers of tangy buffalo hot sauce and finished with fine sea salt. This method ensures the chickpeas remain crunchy while evenly absorbing the spicy flavor, making them a satisfying alternative to chips or nuts. The gradual application of hot sauce and baking between coats helps dry the sauce onto the chickpeas, preventing sogginess and creating a bold buffalo taste.
Ingredients
- one ounces can chickpeas rinsed and well-drained
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6-8 tablespoons of buffalo hot sauce I love Frank's
- salt fine sea salt
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400°F.
- Place the chickpeas in a large bowl and toss with the olive oil until evenly coated.
- Spread the chickpeas in an even layer on a large rimmed baking sheet and bake until they crisp, around 30 minutes.
- Remove the tray from the oven and pour approximately 2 tbsp of hot sauce onto the chickpeas; stir to coat.
- Place back into the oven for 3-4 minutes until the hot sauce has dried.
- Repeat with another 2 applications of hot sauce or until the desired flavor has been reached.
- Sprinkle with salt to taste.
Notes
- Use fine sea salt to evenly season the chickpeas after roasting for a balanced flavor.
- Apply the buffalo sauce in multiple thin layers, baking briefly between each pour to ensure a crispy coating.
- Drain and rinse canned chickpeas thoroughly before roasting to reduce moisture and improve crispness.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crunchiness but consume within a few days as they may soften over time.
