Healthy Deviled Eggs Using Garbanzo Beans Recipe

Hosting a New Year's Eve party? Serve up some healthier deviled eggs, courtesy of OnSugar blog Sophie's Sweeties.

Deviled eggs usually live up to their name, but these little devils come adorned with a halo and wings. Replacing more than half the mayo of typical deviled eggs with garbanzo beans makes them a little less sinful and absolutely perfect for a holiday party!

Read on for the recipe.

Ingredients
1 dozen eggs
1/2 C rinsed and drained garbanzo beans
2 T finely chopped red onion
2 T mayonnaise (I used Nayonnaise)
2 T lemon juice
1 T dijon mustard
1/2 t fine sea salt
2 T finely chopped fresh parsley
2 T chopped pickles
Paprika for garnish

Directions

  1. Put eggs into a medium pot, cover by 1 inch with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover and set aside off heat for 12 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs to a large bowl of ice water and set aside until chilled, about 5 minutes. Drain well, peel and halve eggs.
  3. Transfer whites to a platter and yolks to a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup garbanzo beans, onion, pickle, mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, salt and 2 tablespoons warm water to yolks and combine in a food processor (or mash with a fork).
  4. Spoon or pipe some of the yolk mixture into each egg-white half, garnish each with paprika, and serve.
