Cooked chickpeas need to be refrigerated. Store them as-is (without any liquid) in an airtight container or food-safe bag. Cooked beans will keep for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. To freeze cooked chickpeas, pat them dry then place in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Slide the baking sheet into the freezer and wait until the beans are mostly frozen, about 30 minutes. Then, transfer the beans to a freezer storage bag and keep frozen for up to 3 months.
