Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Chickpeas (cooked)
• 0.5 cup Chickpea Flour
• 0.25 cup Fresh Parsley
• 0.25 cup Fresh Cilantro
• 0.5 medium Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 1 tsp Coriander
• 0.5 tsp Baking Soda
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil

Instructions

1. 1In a food processor, combine the 1.5 cups cooked chickpeas, 0.5 cup chickpea flour, 0.25 cup fresh parsley, 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, 0.5 medium onion, 2 cloves garlic, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp coriander, 0.5 tsp baking soda, and 0.5 tsp salt.
2. 2Process the ingredients in the food processor until the mixture is finely ground and well combined, forming a thick paste.
3. 3Scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them between your hands to form small balls or flatten them into small patties.
4. 4Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, which is about 350°F (175°C).
5. 5Carefully place the formed falafel bites into the hot oil. Fry for 4-5 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. You will hear a gentle sizzle as they cook.
6. 6Remove the falafel bites from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve the falafel bites warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
