Baked Falafel

Step 1

Preheat oven to 190C / 375F

Step 2

Add all ingredients apart from the salt (and only 1tbsp of the oil) to a food processor and mix/pulse to combine. Be careful not to overmix, the mixture should still be crumbly, not a paste (photo in post for reference).

Step 3

Taste and salt as needed. If making for a baby remove baby portions before seasoning.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1/2 tbsp of oil to a baking tray and tilt / brush to coat.

Step 5

Scoop out tablespoon amounts of the mixture and gently form into 12 small balls. Flatten slightly to produce disks. Place each disk on the baking tray and flip to coat both sides in the oil.

Step 6

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, carefully flipping the falafels halfway through baking.
