Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cups (237 ml) dried chickpeas
- 1/2 small onion (diced)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 3 tbsp chopped parsley
- 3 tbsp chopped cilantro
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp ground coriander seed
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp cayenne
Instructions
- Soak the chickpeas 8 hours or overnight in cold water. Drain.
- Combine the soaked chickpeas, onion, and garlic in a food processor. Pulse until blended but not pureed. Add the parsley, cilantro, flour, salt, cumin, coriander, baking powder, black pepper, and cayenne and pulse until just combined.
- Heat your waffle machine. Form the chickpea mixture into six patties, gently pressing together so they hold together. Place patties in the waffle machine, lower the lid, and cook anywhere from 5-10 minutes, depending on your machine. The falafel is done when it is golden brown and crispy.
Notes
- For extra crispy waffles, preheat your waffle iron for longer than usual.
- If your falafel mixture is too wet, add 1-2 tablespoons more flour until it holds its shape.
- Store leftover waffles in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
