Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 15 oz can of chickpeas
  • ½ cup vegan ranch dressing
  • ⅓ cup buffalo sauce
  • ½ cup plant-based cheddar cheese (divided)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s fully heated by the time the dip is ready to bake.
  2. Prepare the chickpeas: Rinse and drain the canned chickpeas thoroughly, then place them into a small baking dish. Use a potato masher to mash the chickpeas to your preferred texture, whether chunky or smooth.
  3. Mix the ingredients: Add the vegan ranch dressing, buffalo sauce, and half of the plant-based cheddar cheese into the baking dish with the mashed chickpeas. Stir everything together until ingredients are evenly combined, ensuring the flavors meld well.
  4. Top with cheese and bake: Sprinkle the remaining vegan cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the mixture. Place the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Buffalo Chickpea Dip with chips, veggies, or your favorite dippers.

Notes

  • Not Vegan? Substitute the chickpeas with cooked shredded chicken, and use regular ranch dressing and cheddar cheese for a classic buffalo chicken dip.
  • Gluten-Free? This recipe is naturally gluten-free; just double-check that your vegan ranch and cheddar brands are certified gluten-free.
  • Want more spice? Add more buffalo sauce or reduce the ranch dressing. You can also mix in diced jalapeño peppers for an extra kick.
