These REALLY just happened!

Roasted Buffalo Chickpeas

Let me preface this post by saying, I LOVE BUFFALO ANYTHING, cauliflower, wings, chicken, you name it! Hot Sauce is my Jam, my husband and I actually collect all different varieties everywhere we go! Ghost pepper has been the most torturous so far!!

I am newly obsessed with roasted chickpeas-I had tried and failed at making them several times, but now that I finally have it figured out-I can't stop!! ...and then, there was THIS!! BUFFALO CHICKPEAS..cue Angels singing!

RECIPE: ROASTED BUFFALO CHICKPEAS

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
• 2 T melted butter ( I plan to use Ghee)
• 1/3 cup buffalo sauce (Frank’s Red Hot is perfect)
• 1 t garlic powder
• 1/2 t kosher salt (I plan to use SEA SALT)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 400F.
2. Drain chickpeas and dry thoroughly (you want the sauce to stick well).  I usually let sit on the counter for 20 minutes or so on a paper towel.
3. Mix together remaining ingredients (a pourable measuring cup works well here).
4. Place chickpeas on a sheet tray. Pour sauce over and mix well, making sure all the chickpeas are coated (your hands work best here).
5. Roast for approximately 45 minutes, stirring at least twice throughout baking time (they should have some crunch to them).
6. Store at room temperature for up to a week.
