Falafel Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Falafel Mixture
In a food processor, combine the canned chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, garlic, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still slightly chunky.
- 2
Form the Falafel Balls
Use your hands to form small balls (about 1.5 inches in diameter) from the mixture. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- 3
Chill the Falafel
Refrigerate the formed falafel balls for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape while frying.
- 4
Cook the Falafel
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the falafel balls in batches until they are golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
