Big batch of Zesty Buffalo Ranch Chickpea Sliders

These meatless “burgers” bring the heat with fiery buffalo sauce and cool down with creamy Litehouse® Homestyle Ranch Dressing. Vegetarian and budget-friendly, this recipe uses chickpeas, carrot, and brown rice to offer a meat-like texture reminiscent of buffalo chicken wings flavors.

Loaded with plant-based proteins and fiber, these chickpea-based burgers are a meal you definitely want to keep on your “digestive support” list. Make the sliders if you’re serving a crowd or little ones.

In the mood for a lighter meal? Skip the bun and enjoy them wrapped in green leaf or butter lettuce. Also try them crumbled over mixed greens with veggies and Litehouse® Homestyle Ranch Dressing for a delicious salad.

Prepare them ahead of time – or cook them in advance and then reheat in the oven, stove top, or microwave before serving. Cooked patties will keep up to 4 days in the refrigerator. Leftovers can be frozen.
