I was out of town for a week and when I got back I noticed some of my seedlings have flower buds. The plan was to start hardening off this week and plant next week depending on how the weather holds. With that said, what’s the best way to pinch them off?

I gently grab the buds and pull.
They make a satisfying popping sound.
Just be careful not to pull or damage leaves or especially nearby growth tips. If you wait a day or two, the buds droop a little and are easier to grab.
Just gently rolling/twisting them until they come off is least likely to cause damage to the rest of the plant.
