Baked Falafel
These healthy falafels are oven baked, not fried, require minimal ingredients, and are so easy to whip up! Perfect for meal prepping and adding to your lunches throughout the week!
Ingredients
- 1 16oz can chickpeas (drained, rinsed and dried)
- ¼ c packed fresh parsley
- ¼ c packed fresh cilantro
- ⅓ c chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoon oat flour (sub any flour)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F and grease and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add all ingredients except flour to a food processor and pulse until evenly mixed and small chunks remain. You want the mixture to stick together when pressed between fingers, but not be pureed otherwise will turn to hummus. Scrape down sides as needed.
- Stir in oat flour by hand.
- Scoop out 12 balls of dough with hands and place each on baking sheet. Lightly flatten/press down to form into falafel patties.
- Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown on both sides, flipping falafels once half way.
