Baked Herb Falafel

Cook Time25 mins
Total Time40 mins
Course: Main Courses, quick, Salads, Sides, Snacks & Appetizers
Cuisine: Mediterranean, middle eastern
Keyword: Falafel
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 can chickpeas
  • 1 cup Italian parsley
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 onion
  • 1 teaspoon baked powder
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 clove garlic

2 Egg whites that have been whipped into stiff peaks

    2 tablespoons vegetable oil

      Instructions

      • In a food processor mix all ingredients together, except the egg whites and oil. Don’t over mix or else it will turn into hummus! Its good to have a few chunkier bites of chickpeas!
      • Give the mixture a taste to see if it needs more salt or pepper. If it tastes yummy to you, transfer into a bowl and fold in the egg whites in with a spatula. Try to keep it fluffy to prevent having dense falafel. Cover the falafel mixture with plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
      • Set up a baking sheet with parchment paper and set the oven to 375º. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the mixture onto the baking sheet in a disk like shape. Repeat until all of the falafel mixture is on a baking sheet.

      Place in the oven for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, pull the falafel disks out of the oven and get ready to quickly pan fry for about 1 minute on each side.

      • Place a nonstick frying pan on high heat with 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Allow the pan to get hot for about 30 seconds and using a metal spatula, gently lay the falafel disks into the pan allowing them to get crispy for about 1 minute on each side before taking them off the heat.
      • Allow to cool on some paper towels and dig in!

      Instagram post 17933401462478512 🕊🌿✨ When I get super excited or passionate about something I’m working on I DREAM 💭 about it for days. I end up having really detailed dreams in which I know I’m sleeping and I’m like kinda awake and kinda snoozing. This makes for a not very well rested night but really fun ideas in the morning.
•
I have literally been dreaming about mood boards. Creating them... what they represent, the colors, the feeling. I love it. They make me excited about a vision I’m pulling together. 
•
This vision here is representative of a few things:
1. TWO new SPICES that I’m releasing VERY SOON. ✨
2. My vision for the future of Emily Jilg Co.
3. A reminder to TRY and slow down a little and enjoy my surroundings, nature, people and small little things.
• 
See, I have this little problem. I constantly feel like I need to be creating, inventing, producing to be successful. I feel like if I slow down I’m losing not winning. I think my time as a  media salesperson at the LA Times gave lots of knowledge and taught my a few silly “rules”. One rule: “you’re only as good as your last sale.” TBH, can’t really get this one of out my mind. Knowledge wise: get comfortable with being rejected over, and over and over. And while your’re at it, invite failure because it’s the only way to learn. 
•
I love being an entrepreneur, owning my own business, creating , exploring, learning from my successes and failures and finding new passions. But while I’m here, I also just want to remind myself (and you) that your productivity does not equate to your value or self worth. 🤍
•
Lol sooo, did this make sense? 🙃🙂
•
Anyways- that’s all for now. Now back to dreaming 💭🦋.

Love this unique cake so much! It’s super buttery and decadent but has no butter 🧈 in the recipe! The olive oil gives it a really yummy rustic taste. It’s great as dessert but also could be just perfect with a cup of tea 🫖 in the afternoon for a Bridgerton moment, darling 👑 🌸⛲️🎠🏹!
