Enjoy these crispy vegan falafels, packed with chickpeas, fresh herbs, and spices. Perfect for a quick and satisfying meal!
Ingredients: 2 cups cooked chickpeas. 1 small onion, chopped. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped. 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped. 2 tablespoons flour such as chickpea flour or all-purpose flour. 1 teaspoon ground cumin. 1 teaspoon ground coriander. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional. 2 tablespoons olive oil for frying.
Instructions: In a food processor, combine chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, flour, cumin, coriander, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if using. Pulse until mixture is well combined but still slightly chunky. Transfer mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up. After chilling, shape the mixture into small balls or patties. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the falafel balls or patties in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove falafel from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite sauce or in a pita with veggies.
