Ingredients

  • 1 can 15oz/425gr chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • ½ cup tightly packed parsley
  • 2-3 medium garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons 16gr all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Oil for frying
  • Hummus for serving if desired

Helpful Equipment:

Instructions

  • In a food processor, place all the ingredients, except for frying oil.
  • Pulse the mixture until it’s nice and smooth.
  • Using a medium cookie scoop, divide the mixture into 1-inch balls.
  • Roll each ball between your palms to smooth out.
  • Heat the oil (at least 2 inches deep) to 350°F (175°C).
  • Fry the falafel balls until nice and golden brown, 6-8 balls at a time, about 3 minutes.
  • Make sure the oil temperature doesn’t drop below 350°F (175°C), or falafel balls will fall apart.
  • Remove the balls onto a baking sheet lined with paper towel and cooling rack, so that they stay crispy longer.
