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, flour, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture is combined but still slightly chunky. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- 2
Form the Falafel
Once chilled, form the mixture into small balls or patties, about the size of a golf ball.
- 3
Fry the Falafel
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the falafel balls to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assemble the Sandwich
