Instant Pot Chickpeas (No Soaking Required)

Nolan Clark

Report

Instant Pot Chickpeas are faster than stovetop cooking and you don’t have to pre-soak them overnight. Cook the chickpeas to your desired doneness depending on how you are using them (chewy and tender for salad, or soft and creamy for hummus).

Instructions

Rinse and chickpeas and remove any debris then drain well.
Transfer chickpeas to a 6-quart instant pot and add 6 cups water or enough to cover the chickpeas by 1-inch of water. Add 1 tsp salt.
For slightly lightly chewy chickpeas (used for salad): Cook on high pressure for 45 minutes followed by a 10 minute natural pressure release.
For Soft and Tender Chickpeas (used for hummus): Pressure cook on high pressure for 50 minutes followed by a 15 minute natural pressure release.*

Notes

*Tip: If your chickpeas aren’t soft enough, you can cover and pressure cook another 5 minutes followed by a manual pressure release.
