Ingredients
2 cans (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup red onion, roughly chopped
4 garlic cloves
1 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons Pompeian Organic Robust Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
1 tablespoon cumin
2 teaspoons turmeric
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 cup oat flour
Directions
  1. Heat oven to 400° F. Grease a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  2. To a food processor, add chickpeas, cilantro, parsley, onion and garlic. Pulse until well-combined, with some chunky texture. Add lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, cumin, turmeric, salt and cayenne pepper. Pulse to combine. Add oat flour, starting with ½ cup. Pulse until a firm dough forms, adding more if necessary.
  3. Form 14-16 balls of dough, flatten, and place on the baking sheet. Bake 30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Broil on low for 5 more minutes to get falafel extra crispy, if desired. Serve on top of a salad or in a pita sandwich.
