How to cook chickpeas aka garbanzo beans in your instant pot. Using soaked or un-soaked dried beans, cooking your chickpeas from scratch will save you not only time but money too!

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 14 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound dried chickpeas, rinsed, soaked, and sifted
  • 45 cups of water
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Add chickpeas to a bowl and cover with water by about 3 inches.  You want to make sure they’ll fully covered.  Soak overnight, or for at least 6-8 hours at room temperature.
  2. Drain and rinse chickpeas well.  Add the beans to the Instant Pot and cover with just enough water to fully cover, ~4-5 cups of water.
  3. Pressure cook on high for ~15 minutes.  You can set the timer for 2-3 minutes more (so a total of 17-18 minutes) for super tender chickpeas.
  4. Quick release for ~15 minutes.  Be careful of the steam.  Drain off any excess cooking liquid.
  5. Enjoy!  These beans are ready!  Store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, or in the freezer for up to 6 months (if they’re properly stored).
