Instant Pot chickpeas, affordable and so convenient. A great way of cooking chickpeas that only requires 2 ingredients: chickpeas and water!
Chickpeas are one of those ingredients that you need to have in your pantry. Packed with good-quality vegan protein, high in fiber, and super versatile! So I hope you know that making Instant Pot chickpeas is one of the easiest things ever.
I love that nowadays we can find a great variety of canned chickpeas at any supermarket, but sometimes I do like to cook them from scratch. Only 2 ingredients required!
How to make Instant Pot chickpeas
- Add the chickpeas to a bowl and cover with water, ensuring they’re well submerged (about 3 inches of water or 7-8 cm). Soak for at least 8 hours (ideally overnight) at room temperature. This step is optional if you go for the no-soak method.
- The next day, drain the chickpeas. Omit this step if you go for the no-soak method.
- Add the chickpeas to the Instant Pot and cover with the water.
- Place the lid on your Instant Pot, set the valve to the "sealing" position, press the "pressure cook" or "manual" button and set the pressure to high. Then cook for 15 minutes (soaked method) or for 50 minutes (no-soak method) minutes.
- Natural release for 15 minutes and then carefully move the valve to the "venting" position and let the pressure release completely.
- Remove the lid from the Instant Pot and use your Instant Pot chickpeas immediately.
Instant Pot chickpeas ingredients and tips
- Dried chickpeas.
