👩🍳Cook Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
2 15-oz cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
3 Tbsp tahini
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 small red onion, chopped
1 cup cilantro leaves
¾ cup chickpea flour
1 Tbsp cumin
2 tsp coriander
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp salt (plus more to taste)
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
juice of ½ a lemon
Instructions
1In a food processor, combine the chickpeas and tahini and pulse until smooth. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
2Add the garlic, onion and cilantro to the food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the vegetables to the mixing bowl along with the flour, and remaining ingredients. Taste and add more salt as needed. Use your hands to combine well. Form into 6 burger patties and refrigerate until ready to cook.
3To cook, preheat the oven to 375°F. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil (optional) over medium-high heat. Add 3 of the Falafel Burgers and fry them for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the cooked burgers and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silpat mat. Add an additional drizzle of oil (optional), and fry the remaining 3 burgers. Transfer them to the baking sheet and place in the oven for 10 minutes. Flip and bake them for another 10 minutes. Allow them to cool for 10 minutes.
