Cooking Instructions

Preheat the oven to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Drain and rinse the soaked Dried Chickpeas (1 cup) .

Place soaked Chickpeas, Scallions (1 stalk) , Fresh Cilantro (1/2 cup) , Fresh Parsley (1/2 cup) , Garlic (3 cloves) , Olive Oil (1 Tbsp) , Chickpea Flour (2 Tbsp) , Baking Powder (1 tsp) , juice from Lemon (1) , Chili Powder (1/2 tsp) , and Salt (to taste) in a high-speed blender or food processor. Pulse until a crumbly dough forms.

Scoop out 1 tablespoon at a time and form it into balls.

Serve it with some pita, salad greens, or alone as a snack - whatever you like!

Author's Notes

Make sure to soak your dried chickpeas the night before! Using dried chickpeas gives your falafel a much creamier texture and helps them stay together.

Makes around 20 falafel balls.
