Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 2
Combine chickpeas, onion, parsley, oil, garlic, coriander, cumin, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until everything is mixed together. Add flour and baking powder and pulse, until mixture starts to stick together and forms a ball, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 3
Use 2 dessert spoons to remove even amounts of the mixture and shape into 15 small patties. Place patties on a baking sheet.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes, turning falafel over carefully after 10 minutes.
