These Baked Falafel cut out the excessive oil from the traditional falafel without skimping on flavour. Be sure to eat them with the side tahini sauce and pickled turnip for maximum enjoyment and a fibre-packed meal.

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375℉. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2
To a food processor, add the chickpeas, onion, garlic, tahini, salt, cumin, coriander, baking soda, cilantro and parsley. Pulse until all ingredients are incorporated and smooth.
3
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the spelt flour and spelt bread crumbs. Stir the mixture until just combined.
4
Use a 1-inch cookie scoop or tablespoon and scoop out the falafel mixture, roll into a ball and place on the baking tray. Repeat until all of the mixture is used.
5
Use a pastry brush to brush the avocado oil on the falafel. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
6
Meanwhile, mix the lemon juice, water and the remaining salt together to make a tahini sauce.
7
Serve the falafel with the tahini sauce and pickled turnip. Enjoy!
