Baked Vegan Chickpea Falafel balls

makes 15 – 20 falafels

Ingredients:

• 4 1/2 cups cooked or canned chickpeas
• 1 onion, roughly chopped
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 4 cloves garlic
• 3 – 4 tbsp buckwheat flour

Seasoning:

• 2 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• Pinch of ground cardamom

Directions:

1. Start by preheating the oven to 200 degrees Celsius/400 degrees Fahrenheit. If using canned beans remember to drain and rinse them well. Place them into your food processor along with all the other ingredients. You can make this using a hand blender instead, though be careful not to over-blend the mixture. It should be somewhat grainy and not as smooth as hummus. 

Perfect served with hummos dip, in a salad or a gluten free wrap!
