  • Soaking chickpeas: Soaking chickpeas overnight or for at least 8 hours helps reduce cooking time and makes them easier to digest. If you're short on time, you can also use canned chickpeas, but be sure to rinse them well before using.
  • Cooking chickpeas: You can cook chickpeas in a pot on the stovetop or in a slow cooker. If you're using a pot, bring the chickpeas to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 1-2 hours, or until tender. If you're using a slow cooker, cook the chickpeas on low for 6-8 hours.
  • Flavoring chickpeas: There are many ways to flavor chickpeas, depending on your taste preferences. You can add spices, herbs, garlic, onion, or other vegetables to the cooking water. You can also toss the cooked chickpeas with a dressing made from olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  • Storing chickpeas: Cooked chickpeas can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze cooked chickpeas for up to 6 months.
