Recipe for healthy baked falafels, which can be eaten with hummus and salad in a pita or as a snack.
Ingredients
  • 1 cup of dried chickpeas (if you are making falafels and hummus dip together) or ½ cup if you aren't making hummus. (1 cup of dried chickpeas = 3 cups of soaked chickpeas)
  • ½ cup coriander, chopped
  • ½ cup dill, chopped
  • ½ red onion, roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 chilli
Instructions
  1. Drain the soaked chickpeas, setting aside approximately 1 cup for the hummus.
  2. Place the chickpeas and all the remaining ingredients in a food processor and process until the mixture reaches the consistency of fine bread crumbs.
  3. Cover mixture and let stand in the fridge for 30 minutes or more.
  4. Turn the oven on to 225 degrees C or 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Take a tablespoon of mixture and make a small disc shape, then place the disc on the parchment paper.
  6. Although the falafel discs will be a little fragile, the mixture should hold together, if not, and the mixture is too wet, add a tablespoon of chickpea flour. If the mixture is too dry add a couple of teaspoons of water.
  7. Bake the falafels for 25 - 35 minutes, flipping halfway through.
