Wrap onion in cheese cloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Place garbanzo beans, parsley, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and baking soda in a food processor. How do you take a pita pocket full of crunchy deep-fried falafel — handed to you by a street vendor and devoured on sight — and turn it into a reasonably healthy, everyday affair that you can make at home?
Simple Way to Prepare Baked Falafel
To get started with this recipe, we have to prepare a few ingredients. You can have baked falafel using 9 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
Ingredients
The ingredients needed to make Baked Falafel:
- Get 1 can chickpeas (400g)
- Get 1 onion
- Get 1 garlic clove
- Get 1 bunch parsley or cilantro
- Get 1/2 lemon, juiced
- Prepare 1 tsp sesame oil or tahini
- Prepare 1 salt and pepper
- Make ready 1 cayenne pepper
- Make ready 2 tbsp plain flour
Ditch that deep fryer because your oven holds the secret to the lightest, crispiest, most tender baked falafel perfect for tucking inside fluffy pita pockets or piling high atop a salad. When it comes to making baked falafel from scratch, the most important tip is to use dry, uncooked chickpeas (rather than the canned variety) to ensure you're baking up perfectly. Pour ¼ cup of the olive oil into a large, rimmed baking sheet and turn until the pan is evenly coated. Spray a baking sheet with oil.
Instructions
Instructions to make Baked Falafel:
- Preheat your oven to 250°C
- Combine chickpeas, diced onion, minced garlic, cilantro/parsley and lemon juice and pulse a few times in a blender
- Then add the seasoning and flour. Pulse juste to combine, it's better to have big chunks in your falafel than ending up with hummus
- With damp hands, mold mixture into balls, I made about 12 golf ball sized falafel, and put them on a baking tray lined with baking paper
- Flatten them slightly with a damp spoon, brush them gently with olive oil on both sides, sprinkle on some salt and put them in the oven for 20-35 minutes, turning halfway through
- You really need to keep a close eye on them, they burn fast. If you have a strong oven, you may want to lower your oven temperature and bake them for only 15-20 minutes. Enjoy :)
Add chickpeas, onion, garlic, oil, parsley, lemon juice, cumin, coriander, salt and cayenne into a food processor and pulse until just combined. You don't want to over-process the mixture or you'll end up with hummus. Taste and adjust the seasoning and serve the falafel drizzled with the sauce. Naturally vegan and vegetarian, falafel are great in wraps, pitas, sandwiches and salads. Today, I'll share how to make both fried falafel and baked falafel.
