Ingredients
- 15 oz Canned chickpeas
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander

Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, chopped red onion, minced garlic, and fresh parsley. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely ground.
Add ground cumin, ground coriander, baking powder, flour, salt, and black pepper to the chickpea mixture, and blend until the mixture holds together.
Transfer the falafel mixture into a bowl and divide into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the falafel patties in the skillet.
Cook each side for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
While the patties are cooking, slice the tomato and prepare the lettuce leaves.
Once the patties are cooked, assemble the burgers by placing each patty on the bottom half of a dairy-free bun, topped with lettuce leaves, sliced tomato, and the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your dairy-free falafel burger!
