Baked Falafel step by step

1. Preheat your oven to 250°C.
2. Combine chickpeas, diced onion, minced garlic, cilantro/parsley and lemon juice and pulse a few times in a blender.
3. Then add the seasoning and flour. Pulse juste to combine, it's better to have big chunks in your falafel than ending up with hummus.
4. With damp hands, mold mixture into balls, I made about 12 golf ball sized falafel, and put them on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
5. Flatten them slightly with a damp spoon, brush them gently with olive oil on both sides, sprinkle on some salt and put them in the oven for 20-35 minutes, turning halfway through.
6. You really need to keep a close eye on them, they burn fast. If you have a strong oven, you may want to lower your oven temperature and bake them for only 15-20 minutes. Enjoy :).
