Description

Simple sheet pan nachos featuring spicy buffalo chickpeas.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup buffalo wing sauce
  • 6 cups tortilla chips
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • Optional: Blue cheese dressing or sour cream for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the drained chickpeas with olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt until coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned chickpeas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes.
  4. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Drizzle the buffalo sauce over the roasted chickpeas and toss gently to coat. Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for 5 more minutes.
  5. Remove the sheet pan again. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses evenly over the chickpeas. Return to the oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Remove from the oven. Top the nachos with sliced red onion and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with optional blue cheese dressing or sour cream.

Notes

  • For crispier chickpeas, pat them very dry with a paper towel before seasoning and roasting.
  • Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce based on your preferred spice level.
