Baked Falafel



*Makes 4 servings (12 patties)

Ingredients:


  • 2 cups chickpeas, rinsed & drained
  • 1 small onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 3 tablespoons parsley, fresh or dried flakes
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp tahini
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 4 tbsp flour

Directions:
In a food processor, chop onion and garlic. Add the rest of the ingredients and pulse to combine, adding additional flour one tablespoon at a time as needed until mixture holds together. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Form chilled chickpea mixture into 12 small patties. Place on a well-greased baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes on each side, until nicely browned – note, only the part touching the pan will become brown and crispy. Serve in a whole wheat pita with cucumber, tomato, spinach and hummus.
