Baked Falafels

I love falafels and these can easily be made in advance to be eaten for the next few days for quick easy lunches and dinners.

Ingredients: 

• 1 bundle fresh parsley
• 3 large cloves garlic
• 1 large lemon (juiced)
• 1/2 tsp sea salt + black pepper
• 1 1/4 tsp cumin
• 1 15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
• 1/4 - 1/2 cup ground raw walnuts, pecans, almonds or oat flour (I used oat flour)

Instructions: 

1. Add parsley, garlic cloves, lemon juice, salt and pepper, and cumin to food processor. Mix until well combined. 

2. Add chickpeas and pulse until just combined. 

3. Transfer to mixing bowl and add in oat flour, raw walnuts, pecans, or almond meal. 

4. Draw an X in the dough and separate into four patties. Place patties in the freezer to firm up for about 15 minutes. 

5. Bake at 375 F for 30-40 minutes. Flip halfway through to bake evenly. 

Store in the fridge.
