Description

Recommended Equipment

  • medium mixing bowl
  • food processor
  • small cookie scoop (or tablespoon)

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 250 grams dry chickpeas
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 5 grams fresh parsley
  • 5 grams fresh cilantro
  • 5 leaves fresh mint
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp za’atar
  • 1/2 tsp white pepper

Instructions

  1. Soak the dried chickpeas in 750ml (3 cups) of cold water for about 12-24 hours and store them in the fridge. The next day, drain, rinse, and let them sit for a moment to remove excess water. Preheat the oven to 220°C / 428°F (fan-assisted).
  2. Add the chickpeas along with the other ingredients to a food processor and blend until you get a crumbly yet moldable mixture. Use a small cookie scoop to shape the mixture into 30g/1oz falafel balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
