Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Canned chickpeas
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Begin by draining and rinsing the chickpeas. Set them aside to dry on a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a food processor, combine cauliflower rice and almond flour. Pulse until the mixture is finely ground.
Roughly chop the onion, garlic, parsley, and cilantro. Add them to the food processor along with the chickpeas.
Include the ground cumin, ground coriander, baking powder, salt, and black pepper in the processor.
Pulse all ingredients until they are well combined and form a coarse paste. Avoid over-processing to prevent the mixture from becoming too smooth.
Transfer the falafel mixture to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help it firm up.
Once chilled, take the mixture and divide it into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a small patty.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Carefully place the patties into the skillet, cooking them in batches if necessary.
Cook each patty for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides.
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
Serve the low-carb falafel patties warm, alongside a fresh salad, in lettuce wraps, or with your favorite dipping sauce.
