How to Cook Chickpeas from Scratch
Want extra creaminess and flavor? Here’s how to cook dried chickpeas:
- Soak 1 lb (453g) of dried chickpeas overnight in plenty of water with 1 tbsp (15g) of baking soda.
- Drain and rinse. Add fresh water to cover them and another 1 tbsp (15g) of baking soda.
- Cook on medium-high heat for 45–50 minutes until tender. Skim off any foam.
- Rinse well and let cool. Peel if desired.
- Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 10 days, or freeze in portions.
Notes
Tips for the Creamiest Hummus
- Peel the chickpeas if you have time—removing the skins gives a silkier texture.
- Use ice-cold water for blending. It helps emulsify and fluff up the hummus.
Fresh, ripe avocados are key—soft but not mushy.
