Oven baked Falafel

I love falafel and decided to make a healthier version as they are normally deep fried in order to make them crispy. These baked ones have a crispy outside with a soft middle. I served them with Vegetable Pilau Rice.

1 syn for six falafel, mix makes 12



- 1 can chickpeas beans
-1 small  red onion onion, finely chopped
- 2- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 3 tablespoon fresh coriander, chopped
- juice of half a lemon
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 small red pepper finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon chilli paste
1 teaspoon ginger paste



- Preheat oven 220°C/ Gas Mark 8
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Put in a large mixing bowl
- Add the rest of the ingredients and use a hand blender to make a paste
- I used a mini muffin tray to shape the mix into little patties
- Bake for 15 minutes on each side, until nicely browned
