A flavorful and fresh-tasting falafel patty that's healthy too since it's baked instead of fried.

Ingredients

2 (15 ounce) cans garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
⅔ large onion, roughly chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 large eggs
1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or more as needed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt

Directions

Combine garbanzo beans, parsley, cilantro, onion, garlic, eggs, jalapeno, flour, olive oil, cumin, coriander, baking soda, and salt in the bowl of a food processor; process until mixture is coarsely pureed. Transfer falafel mixture to the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 8 hours.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Remove falafel mixture from the refrigerator. Add more flour if needed, 1 tablespoon at a time, and form into 20 small patties. Place patties on a baking sheet.
Cook in the preheated oven until patties are golden brown and feel dry to the touch, but still give a little when you press the middle, about 25 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

You can use 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper in place of a fresh jalapeno, if preferred.

Instead of baking, you can cook the falafel patties in a skillet for about 15 minutes.
