Beans and chickpeas are a great source of plant-based proteins, fiber, and other vitamins. They're an inexpensive pantry staple and a great way to add nutrients to your family's diet.

I love cooking all bean and chickpeas recipes in the Instant Pot. It cooks the beans in an even, gentle heat. As a result, these recipes turn out consistently delicious, whether you soak the beans or not.

Pressure cooking also reduces the cook time while infusing slow cooked flavors in the beans. The end result is a tasty and nutritious meal, all thanks to the one gadget that was meant to cook beans- the Instant Pot!
