Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 onion diced
- 400 g chickpeas drained
- 3 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 2 garlic clove crushed
- 1 lemon (juice only)
- 0.25 teaspoon cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 20 g plain flour
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C(fan)/400°F/Gas 6.
- Heat 1 teaspoon Olive oil in a frying pan and add 0.5 Onion. Cook on low for 2-3 minutes until the onions has softened and then allow to cool.
- Put the onions into a food processor with 400 g Chickpeas, 3 tablespoon Fresh parsley, 2 Garlic clove, juice of 1 Lemon, 0.25 teaspoon Cumin, 0.25 teaspoon Paprika, 20 g Plain flour and 1 pinch Sea salt. Pulse until smooth, or leave a few chunks in it.
- Form the mixture into 12 patties and put on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
- Brush with olive oil and bake for 30 minutes.
Notes
- Soak your dried chickpeas for at least 24 hours before making the mixture.
- If using canned chickpeas, you will need to add some flour to reduce the wetness of the mixture.
- We used parsley in these falafel, however you could swap it for coriander or use a mixture of them both.
- Add a little spice to these with a sprinkling of red chilli flakes in to the mixture.
- You can swap the onion for shallot if you want a sweeter taste.
- They need a generous brush or drizzle of olive oil before putting them in the oven, as this really does help them to crisp up.
- Don't pack the patties too tightly, as this will make the falafel quite dense.
