Baked Green Falafels

Method

• step 1

  First put chickpeas in a pan and soak in water overnight or until they've tripled in size. If needed Add more water to keep submerged.

• step 2

  Once chickpeas have soaked drain them thoroughly. Preheat oven to 200'c/400 F/gas 6.

• step 3

  Then put everything in a blender or food processor and blitz, adding seasons to taste. Blitz till a lumpy consistency (so it holds if you squeeze)

• step 4

  Next, line a tray with baking paper and brush lightly with oil.

• step 5

  Take the falafel mix and roll into 1-2inch ball in hands and flatten a little on tray. Once you've rolled all falafel on the tray brush a little oil on top of them.

• step 6

  Put in the oven for 15-20mins on each side until golden. Serve with couscous, pitta bread or salad and dips!
