  3. Drain and rinse the chickpeas and add them to your food processor. 
  4. Add the onion, parsley, cilantro, pepper, garlic, cumin, salt, cardamom, black pepper, and baking soda to the food processor and pulse several times until it the texture becomes a fine grain. Then transfer the falafel mixture to a large mixing bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour.
  5. Take the mixture out of the fridge and add the chickpea flour, water, and olive oil. Mix everything together with your hands until well combined.
  6. Flatten the falafel mixture onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Gently press down with your hands to flatten.
  7. Bake for 25 minutes.
  8. Let the flatbread cool for about 10 minutes. Then slice it into individual pieces.
