Baked Falafel

• 2 cups dried garbanzo beans, soaked in water overnight, drained or (15 1/2 ounce) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped (~3/4 c)
• 2 -3 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 cup chopped fresh parsley (or a mix of parsley, cilantro, green onions, mint)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne (to taste)
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander (optional)
• 2 tablespoons flour (use as needed)

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Combine all ingredients except flour in a food processor and pulse to combine until a coarse mixture is formed. Add flour or water 1 T at a time as needed to make a cohesive mixture.
3. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop balls of mixture onto well oiled cookie sheets. You can brush or mist tops of falafels with olive oil to make a crunchier browner crust. Cook for 10-12 minutes per side until golden brown.
