Falafel | Recipe Cart | Recipe Cart

Ingredients

• 1 lb dry chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans) (- you must start with dry, do NOT substitute canned, they will not work!)
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 small onion, roughly chopped
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 3-5 cloves garlic (I prefer roasted garlic cloves)
• 1 1/2 tbsp flour or chickpea flour
• 1 3/4 tsp salt
• 2 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• Pinch of ground cardamom
• 1 tsp baking powder ((optional - makes the falafel more fluffy))
• Vegetable oil for frying (- grapeseed, sunflower, avocado, canola, and peanut oils all work well)
