Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Rinse the chickpeas and drain them well. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and pepper. Process until the mixture is well combined and slightly chunky.
2
Add the flour, lemon juice, and olive oil to the mixture. Process until the mixture forms a sticky dough.
3
Using your hands, shape the dough into small balls, about 1 1/2 inches (3.8 cm) in diameter. Place the balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4
Bake the falafel for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
5
Remove the falafel from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve them hot with a dollop of hummus and a side of fresh vegetables.
