Ingredients

  • 2 (15 ounce) cans garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
  • ½ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2/3 large onion, roughly chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or more as needed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1
Combine garbanzo beans, parsley, cilantro, onion, garlic, eggs, jalapeno, flour, olive oil, cumin, coriander, baking soda, and salt in the bowl of a food processor; process until mixture is coarsely pureed. Transfer falafel mixture to the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 8 hours.

Step 2
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 3
Remove falafel mixture from the refrigerator. Add more flour if needed, 1 tablespoon at a time, and form into 20 small patties. Place patties on a baking sheet.

Step 4
Cook in the preheated oven until patties are golden brown and feel dry to the touch, but still give a little when you press the middle, about 25 minutes.

Cook’s Notes:

You can use 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper in place of a fresh jalapeno, if preferred.
