Baked falafel

This is an easy, healthy and quick recipe. You can pan fry these or bake them in the oven. I use my T-FAL Actifry to make these.

Ingredients:
1 can of chickpeas (19 oz)
1/2 cup of chopped onions
1 1/2 cup of cilantro
1/3 cup of rice flour and 2 tablespoons
(you can use any other type of flour too - you may need to adjust quantity depending on the type of flour you use.)
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
5 tablespoons of olive oil
1 1/2 tsp of salt
1 1/2 tsp of cumin powder
1 1/2 tsp of baking powder
1 tsp of black pepper
1/2 tsp on onion powder
2 tablespoons of chopped garlic

OPTIONAL: 1/2 tsp of red chilli powder. 1 cup of parsley

1) Rinse and wash chickpeas well.
2) Add chickpeas and all ingredients into food processor and pulse/blend.

3) Put the paste in the fridge for at least 30 mins to 1 hour.
4) Form balls using 2 tablespoons of the paste and flatten.
5) Bake in Actifry for 15 mins or until golden brown. You can pan fry them too or bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 20-25 mins.

Makes about 16-18 falafels
