Buffalo Roasted Chickpeas

When I saw this recipe on Modern Mom, I just had to try it.  I've never been a huge fan of chickpeas (or Garbanzo Beans) but I love anything with buffalo hot sauce, so I thought they'd be worth a try.  And the picture just plain looked awesome!  So I made them, and they are oh, so good!  I will definitely be making these again!

Buffalo Roasted Chickpeas

Ingredients:
Directions:
  1. Drain and rinse garbanzo beans; pat dry with towel. Spread onto baking sheet.  (not too big.  a 13x9" pan would work just fine)
  2. In small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt butter; add hot sauce and stir to combine.
  3. Pour hot sauce mixture over beans; toss to coat evenly.
  4. Bake 30 to 40 minutes at 450°, stirring/shaking the pan occasionally - until browned.
  5. Cool - if you can wait that long - and enjoy!


These make a great snack. It's really hard to stop munching on them!  That's not all bad, because, according to Dr. Oz - you can eat triple the amount of these roasted chickpeas as nuts - for the same number of calories!

It also made me wonder how many other ways I can roast chickpeas, so I went looking for recipes and found these:
  1. w/ cayenne and cumin (and a very funny story, too)
  2. w/ olive oil, garlic, and cayenne
  3. w/ vinegar and mustard
  4. w/ Moroccan spices
  5. and more
 They're all pretty much the same - drain your beans, toss with oil and spices of your choice, and roast at a high temperature until browned and crunchy.  Pretty much like this page said - salt, seasoning blend of your choice, garbanzo beans, olive oil - and there are a bunch more recipes linked and listed there.  Easy, easy, easy!  and you end up with a healthy, high fiber snack.
