❤ Falafel balls recipe

Looking for a tasty, plant-based snack? These crispy vegan falafel balls are packed with flavor and are super easy to make! ✨

 

Ingredients:

– 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

– 1 small onion, chopped

– 2 cloves garlic, minced

– 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

– 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

– 1 teaspoon cumin

– 1 teaspoon coriander

– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

– Salt and pepper, to taste

– Olive oil for frying

 

Directions:

1. Grab your trusty food processor and toss in the chickpeas, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, baking powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pulse it all together until you have a nice, coarse mixture.

2. Time to roll! Take portions of the mixture and shape them into small balls or patties.

3. Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry those falafel balls until they’re golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Your kitchen will start to smell amazing!

4. Once they’re perfectly fried, remove the falafel and let them drain on some paper towels to get rid of any extra oil.

5. Serve these delicious bites with a drizzle of tahini sauce or stuff them in a warm pita with your favorite veggies. Enjoy!
