Ingredients

  • 1 cup canned chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons oat flour
  • ½ small red onion chopped
  • 1.5 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped cilantro
  • 3 garlic cloves roughly chopped
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
  • pepper and salt

Instructions

  • In a food processor, combined the chickpeas, flour, onion, parsley, cilantro, garlic, cumin, coriander, and season with pepper and desired amount of salt.
  • Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the mixture with your hands and form into balls. Set aside on a parchment paper lined baking sheet or similar surface while you form all the balls.
  • Once done forming the falafel balls, set a large skillet over medium-high heat and add in the grapeseed or avocado oil. Once oil is shimmering, drop in the falafel balls and cook 2 minutes per side until all sides are browned and the falafel balls are crispy. I like to shake the pan every 2 minutes instead of flipping them onto sides, to ensure a rounder shape.
  • Let cool before serving.
