Roasted Garbanzo Beans/Chickpeas

FAQ

No, you don't have to soak your chickpeas before cooking . . . but the soaking method makes the beans cook much faster. It can take up to twice the time if you don't soak them first. Also, soaking may help remove some of the phytic acid found in dry beans, making them easier to digest.
The honest answer—there's no difference between chickpeas and garbanzo beans. They're just two (of many) different names for the same type of pulse. (Pulses are basically seeds of legume plants.) The word chickpea doesn't come from chickens at all—it's an evolution of the plant's Latin name, cicer arietinum.
Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chickpeas, toss to coat, and spread them out in a single layer. Let them cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring only occasionally, until they start to whistle and get slightly brown. Stir in the spices until they coat the chickpeas.
The baking soda makes the water more alkaline, which softens the chickpeas more quickly by weakening their pectic bonds. Also, sautéing the chickpeas with the baking soda before adding water adds a friction which helps break down the skins and gets the baking soda to penetrate the skin better.
Dried chickpeas — also known as garbanzo beans — can be cooked without presoaking in anywhere from 40 minutes to eight hours, depending on the method that best suits your needs. However, cooking garbanzo beans without soaking first can increase risk of digestive side effects including gas and bloating.
