Notes

  • Cannellini, Great Northern, or navy beans all work well in this recipe.
  • For a vegan version, use a dairy-free yogurt or sour cream alternative.
  • Dry the beans thoroughly before roasting to maximize crispness.
  • Black beans or chickpeas can be substituted for white beans.
  • Store the buffalo beans separately from the toppings for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat the beans in an oven or air fryer to restore their crispy texture.
