Preheat oven and prepare mixturePreheat oven to 400°F. Bring all falafel ingredients to a food processor and mix well but still allow some texture. You do not want this too runny or smooth. Roll small balls and place on a cookie sheet. Gently press each one so they are slightly flatter and cook more evenly. Cook for about 25-35 minutes or until golden, flipping halfway. |
