My super quick and easy baked chickpea flour falafel recipe.
Falafel is such an incredible food and I eat a lot of it. I find it a highly nutritious food (when prepared well and not fried in unhealthy oil of course). This quick and easy baked falafel recipe is made with chickpea flour and it is ready in 15 minutes!
I definitely prefer using fresh chickpeas soaked overnight, but this recipe is perfect for a quick and easy meal. All ingredients can be mixed a bowl together, so a food processor or blender is not needed. I also get my chickpeas flour from the organic vegan shop here on the island, and she does it on the spot for me by using organic raw uncooked chickpeas. So I do think the quality of the flour can also make a difference and if you can get it organic, or even make it yourself if you have the machine, then this is ideal.
