Falafel

By mistynoelle13

Ingredients

• 15-19 oz can chickpeas/garbanzo beans,drained
• 1/2 medium white onion, finely chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoon parsley, chopped
• 2-3 tablespoons all purpose flour
• 2 teaspoon cumin
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• salt & pepper
• 2-3 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

1. Start by preheating the oven to 350 and drizzling the oil evenly in a shallow baking pan (we used a small glass baking pan/casserole dish).

2. Next, mash the chickpeas/garbanzo beans. You can use a food processor, but we used a spoon,potato masher, and our blender. This way requires more work and depending on your blender it might mean doing it in a couple of batches to make sure the chunks of chickpeas/garbanzo beans are gone.

3. Add onions and garlic and blend some more.
Mix in the rest of the ingredients and you should get a thick paste-like consistency. Spoon out the mixture and roll (using your hands) into walnut size balls and place in preheated baking dish. Flatten the falafel a little. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flip the falafel halfway through baking.
