Easy Baked Falafel

Odette Barnes

Report

Inspired by our trip to Israel, I created a baked falafel recipe that is just as easy as it is tasty! It’s made with canned chickpeas so there’s no soaking necessary. These protein-packed patties are great for topping bowls and salads, plus they're vegan and gluten-free.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a baking sheet with oil.
Add chickpeas, onion, garlic, oil, parsley, lemon juice, cumin, coriander, salt and cayenne into a food processor and pulse until just combined. You don’t want to over-process the mixture or you’ll end up with hummus. Plus, having a few chunks of chickpeas gives the falafel a nice texture. Stir in baking soda and oat flour. At this point your mixture should be holding together quite well.
Scoop spoonfuls of mixture out and form into small patties; you should get about 15. Place on prepped baking sheet.
Bake 10-12 minutes, flip patties and bake for another 10-12 minutes or until falafel are golden and cooked through.
