Tips & tricks for cooking with chickpeas

Make the most of every can or batch of dried chickpeas with these helpful kitchen insights.

• Canned vs. dried chickpeas: Canned chickpeas are convenient and quick, while dried chickpeas offer better texture and flavor when soaked and cooked. Use what works best for your schedule!
• How to get them crispy: To roast chickpeas to crunchy perfection, dry them thoroughly, coat with oil and spices, and bake at high heat (around 400°F/200°C).
• Best spices for chickpeas: Think cumin, smoked paprika, coriander, garam masala, turmeric, and za’atar. Chickpeas take on a bold flavor beautifully.
• Storing & Freezing: Cooked chickpeas are stored in the fridge for 4–5 days or frozen beautifully in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
