Instructions

In a food processor, mix together chickpeas, onion, garlic, cilantro, and parsley. Add remaining ingredients and pulse until well combined.

To shape, scoop a heaping tablespoon of the falafel mixture and form uniform-sized balls or flattened patties.

Optional: Arrange on a plate or parchment-paper lined baking sheet and let firm up in the fridge for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 400F. Bake for 20 minutes, flip, return to oven and let continue baking for 15 minutes, until firm, brown, and crispy.

Enjoy in a pita bread wrap, salad, or as is with hummus and tahini!
