If you’re using canned chickpeas, you are already done. Drain, rinse, and done in under two minutes. They are the superheroes of the pantry: always ready, always forgiving, and perfect for that 10 PM snack attack.
For dried chickpeas, it’s a different story, but not a scary one. You’re looking at about 1 to 2 hours of cooking time on the stove. Yes, that’s longer than ordering pizza, but the flavor payoff is like comparing a store-bought cookie to your grandma’s secret recipe.
