Equipment

  • Oven
  • Food Processor
  • Baking Sheet

Ingredients

  • 2 15oz cans Garbanzo Beans
  • 1/2 Onion Medium-sized, quartered
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1 Tbsp Ground Cumin
  • 1 tsp Ground Coriander
  • 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 cup Parsley
  • 3/4 tsp Salt

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a food processor. Using several 10-second mixes, combine until well-mixed, but not finely ground. You can add some liquid from the garbanzo beans back into the mix to help hold the falafels together. Alternatively, completely drain the beans for a drier falafel.
  • Form mixture into small patties with your hands, then drop onto baking sheet.
  • Place the pan into a preheated oven set to 425 degrees. Bake for 20-30 minutes, then check for browning.
  • Turn falafel patties over, then bake until done, approximately 20-25 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and cool to help prevent them from breaking before serving.
