Ingredients

  • 1 Can of Chickpeas
  • 1/2 Onion
  • 1/3 cup Fresh Coriander
  • 2 tbsp Sesame seeds
  • 2 - 3 Garlic cloves
  • 1/4 - 1/2 Fresh chili
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Coriander powder
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin powder
  • 8 tbsp Gluten free flour
  • 4 Oil for frying

Instructions

  • Gather all your ingredients and get your food processor ready.
    Ingredients for falafel
  • Put all the ingredients in the food processor except for the gluten-free flour. Roughly chop the onions before adding them in.
    Falafel step 1
  • Add about half of the gluten-free flour at first and blend well. Add more flour gradually until your falafel dough is thick enough to be molded into balls.
    Falafel step 2
  • Form your falafels, I chose to make mine a bit longer and leaner because I wanted to put them in wraps.
    Falafel step 3
  • Fry your falafels in oil for about 3-5 minutes each side or until golden color. If you want to be extra healthy you could also bake them in the oven until golden. That way you have made your falafels low fat as well.
    Falafel step 4
  • Once your falafels are ready you can use them in whichever way you want. Today we made Falafel wraps with lots of vegetables, garlic tahini sauce, and hummus.
