Report
These grain-free paleo falafels are my version of the traditional recipe but without chickpeas.

Ingredients
- 1 cup onion roughly chopped
- ½ cup fresh cilantro
- ½ cup fresh parsley
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 cups cauliflower cut into florets
- 1 zucchini roughly chopped
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 2 teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon Turmeric
- ½ cup almond flour
- 1 egg beaten
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- coconut oil melted
- vegetable oil to pan fry
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375F (190C).
- In a food processor, blend the onion, cilantro, parsley, and garlic until finely minced. Set them aside in a large bowl.
- Repeat the process with the cauliflower and the zucchini; add to the bowl with the onion mixture.
- Add the lemon zest, cumin, chili powder, turmeric, almond flour and beaten egg to the bowl. Combine everything well; season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the mixture rest for a few minutes.
- Spread some melted coconut oil over a baking sheet. Form medium-sized balls of the falafel mixture with your hands and place them on the baking sheet.
- Brush some more oil over the falafel and place in the oven.
- If you’re cooking them in the oven, bake for 40 minutes. Halfway through, turn the falafel and brush them with some more oil.
- If you’re cooking them on the stove, pre-heat a generous amount of coconut oil in a large sautépan placed over medium heat for about 4 minutes.
- Then add the falafel, browning them on the first side for 4 minutes, then flipping them once and browning the second side until the mixture is cooked throughout.
