Ingredients

40 mins
3 servings
  1. 1 canchickpeas (400g)
  2. 1onion
  3. 1garlic clove
  4. 1 bunchparsley or cilantro
  5. 1/2lemon, juiced
  6. 1 tspsesame oil or tahini
  7. 1salt and pepper
  8. 1cayenne pepper
  9. 2 tbspplain flour

Cooking Instructions

40 mins
  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 250°C

  2. 2

    Combine chickpeas, diced onion, minced garlic, cilantro/parsley and lemon juice and pulse a few times in a blender

  3. 3

    Then add the seasoning and flour. Pulse juste to combine, it's better to have big chunks in your falafel than ending up with hummus

  4. 4

    With damp hands, mold mixture into balls, I made about 12 golf ball sized falafel, and put them on a baking tray lined with baking paper

  5. 5

    Flatten them slightly with a damp spoon, brush them gently with olive oil on both sides, sprinkle on some salt and put them in the oven for 20-35 minutes, turning halfway through

  6. 6

    You really need to keep a close eye on them, they burn fast. If you have a strong oven, you may want to lower your oven temperature and bake them for only 15-20 minutes. Enjoy :)
