Instant Pot Chickpeas (2024)

Instant Pot Chickpeas couldn’t be easier. This simple & quick method for cooking dried garbanzo beans in the pressure cooker (without no soaking) requires less than an hour. Plus, they taste so much better than canned!

I’m constantly cooking with chickpeas. Sometimes I’m even not cooking with chickpeas.

Meaning that sometimes I’ll even open up some canned chickpeas, drizzle on some Italian dressing, and call it lunch…

In today’s modern world, with the Instant Pot revolution upon us, I thought why not upgrade my routine a bit and try my hand at making chickpeas in the pressure cooker?

I mean, I make a lot of my staples in the Instant Pot – rice, quinoa, baked potatoes, chicken breasts. It was definitely time to try out some beans.

Try and try I did, and I finally developed a recipe to make ⭐️perfect⭐️ chickpeas in the Instant Pot.

How to Make Ahead & Store

• Refrigerator: Store cooked chickpeas in a sealed container with a bit of their cooking liquid. They will keep for up to four days.
• Freezer: Store flat in ziploc bags for up to six months. I like to freeze them in 1 1/2 cup portions, which is equivalent to a 15-ounce can. Perfect for using in recipes!
