Ingredients

    1 15 ounce can garbanzo beans
    1 small onion, finely chopped
    2-3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
    3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
    1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
    1 teaspoon lemon juice
    1 teaspoon olive oil
    1 teaspoon coriander
    1 teaspoon cumin
    1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
    2 tablespoons flour
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Drain and rinse the garbanzo beans. Put in a medium sized bowl and smash with a fork. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Form into small balls, about 1 1/2″ in diameter and slightly flatten. Place onto an oiled baking pan.

Bake for 15 minutes on each side, until nicely browned (since it�s baked, only the part actually touching the pan will be browned and crispy).

Serve with mini pita pockets, hummus, tahini sauce, tomatoes, lettuce and/or cucumber. (not in the nutritional info)

    Incredible!
    Just made this recipe for lunch! I made a third of the recipe so that I could have a personal serving and cooked them less. It made 4 falafels for 160 calories! I put them in a small pita with hummus. DELICIOUS! - 7/6/15

    Very Good
    The flavor was very good. I made them in the food processor. I thought that they were very soft when done, but that didn't stop us from devouring them all. Served them with a pita and taziki, red onions, cucumber and bean sprouts. Will be making again. - 2/20/12

    Very Good
    I tried this today for lunch, it was great. I created little patties by pressing into 1/4 cup measure. I ate two patties and froze the rest. I added eggbeaters and used whole wheat flour. Very nice, thanks for posting the recipe! - 9/24/11

    Very Good
    Made for a quick easy dinner, that was also easy on the calories. Very tasty. Did mine in my small food processor and it blended it all perfectly. - 6/10/11
