Cooking Instructions

Take out a food processor and combine the Chickpeas (1 can) , Onion (1) , Garlic (2 cloves) , Fresh Dill (1 Tbsp) , zest of the Lemon (1/2) , Baking Soda (1/2 tsp) , Seasoned Salt (1/2 tsp) , Ground Turmeric (1/2 tsp) , Ground Cumin (1/2 tsp) , and Smoked Paprika (1/2 tsp) in its bowl.

Pulse the mixture until it is well combined but still has some texture. Use a spatula to push down the sides midway through to make sure everything gets in there. Cover the mixture and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight.

The next day, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Take a sheet tray and line it with a silicone mat or parchment paper.

Lightly grease the lined tray with Olive Oil (as needed) . Scoop out 2 tablespoon portions of the mixture and roll those portions into balls. Line the balls up on the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten each of them into small patties.

Bake the falafel for 25 minutes, until the outside is golden and crispy. Take the tray out when they're done and let them cool for a minute. Transfer them to a plate and serve with Greek Yogurt (as needed) , Pita Bread (as needed) , Tomatoes (as needed) , and Cucumbers (as needed) , if you wish for a wonderful vegetarian sandwich! Enjoy!
