Baked Falafel Patties

A flavorful and fresh-tasting falafel patty that’s healthy too since it’s baked instead of fried.

Step: 1

Combine garbanzo beans, parsley, cilantro, onion, garlic, eggs, jalapeno, flour, olive oil, cumin, coriander, baking soda, and salt in the bowl of a food processor; process until mixture is coarsely pureed. Transfer falafel mixture to the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 8 hours.

Step: 2

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step: 3

Remove falafel mixture from the refrigerator. Add more flour if needed, 1 tablespoon at a time, and form into 20 small patties. Place patties on a baking sheet.

Step: 4

Cook in the preheated oven until patties are golden brown and feel dry to the touch, but still give a little when you press the middle, about 25 minutes.
