Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz Canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Baking powder
- 4 tbsp All-purpose flour or chickpea flour
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Water (if needed)
- N/A Nonstick spray (for waffle iron)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, black pepper, and baking powder. Pulse until the mixture is coarse but holds together when pressed.
Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and stir in the flour and olive oil. If the mixture is too dry, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until it comes together.
Scoop a portion of the falafel dough and press it into the waffle iron, spreading it out evenly. Cook for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Carefully remove the falafel waffles and serve with tahini sauce, hummus, or a fresh salad on the side. Enjoy!
