Falafel Ingredients

Method

Falafel Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Soak the Chickpeas

    Soak the dried chickpeas in water overnight for at least 8 hours. Drain and rinse before using.

  2. 2

    Blend Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine soaked chickpeas, parsley, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture is coarse but well combined.

  3. 3

    Form Falafel Balls

    Take a small amount of the mixture and form it into balls or patties, about the size of a golf ball.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  5. 5

    Fry Falafel

    Carefully drop the falafel balls into the hot oil, frying in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
