If you are beginning with dried chickpeas, it’s essential to either boil them or make use of a pressure cooker prior to baking. I typically let my dried chickpeas soak for 10-12 hours before placing them in a pressure cooker for a more uniform cooking process. Neglecting this step will result in a longer cooking time.
An air fryer may also be a suitable option, particularly if you intend to shorten your baking duration. Rinse, dry, and season your chickpeas prior to air frying them for approximately 15 minutes, shaking them midway through.
