Crispy Baked Falafels with Spices
Ingredients
- 400g can chickpeas
- 1/2 medium onion
- 2 cloves garlic or 2 tsp garlic granules
- 2 tbsp plain flour
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp dried parsley or fresh parsley
- 1/2 tsp dried harissa seasoning
- juice of 1 lemon
- salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 200C/180C fan/400F/gas 6. Line a large baking tray with non-stick baking parchment.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then pat them dry using a clean tea towel or kitchen paper.
Add all the ingredients into a food processor and blitz until you form a smooth mixture.
Scoop out a heaped tablespoon of the mixture and shape into balls using your hands until all the mixture is used, then slightly flatten the balls on the baking tray to make falafel patties.
Bake them in the oven for around 20 minutes until they’re crispy on the outside and soft in the middle.
Serve in a pita with salad, a wrap, or add them to a Buddha bowl with a lemon tahini dressing made from 1 tbsp tahini, juice of 1/2 lemon, and water for desired consistency. Enjoy!
