Ingredients
 

  • 1 ½ gal + 1 cup Chickpeas, canned or cooked
  • 1 qt + 1 cup Onions, diced
  • 2 ½ oz Cilantro, fresh
  • 2 ½ oz Parsley, fresh
  • 2 ½ Tbsp Cumin, ground
  • 2 ½ Tbsp Coriander, ground
  • 2 ½ Tbsp Garlic Powder
  • 2 ½ Tbsp +¼ tsp Salt, kosher
  • 1 Tbsp + ¾ tsp Black pepper, ground
  • ¾ cup + 1 Tbsp Flour
  • ¾ cup + 1 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 5 large Eggs, whole

Instructions:
 

  1. Heat oven to 375°F.
  2. Place onions, cilantro, parsley into the bowl of a large food processor fitted with a blade. Pulse the ingredients until they are roughly chopped and comparable in size.
  3. Add the chickpeas and continue pulsing until chickpeas become a fine meal or begin getting a little pasty and the herbs have incorporated. There should be some texture from the chickpeas.
  4. Add spices, flour, oil and egg to the chickpea mixture and mix to combine thoroughly. The mixture should resemble a soft dough.
  5. Prepare sheet trays by coating with non-stick spray or lining with parchment paper.
  6. Scoop mixture into 4oz balls and flatten into a burger shape.
  7. Prior to baking, mist tops of falafel patties with vegetable spray.
  8. Bake in oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the dough has browned on the bottom.
  9. Serve on a whole wheat bun, with pickled vegetables and savory yogurt sauce.
