Instructions
Step 1
Drain and rinse chickpeas, before adding everything to your Ninja Kitchen food processor and blitzing until combined. Don't over-blitz. Some chunks are good
Step 2
Line a baking tray with parchment paper, and roll the mixture into approximately 12 balls. Get hands wet between each roll of the balls to make them less sticky and easier to handle
Step 3
Place falafels into fridge to firm up for a minimum of 45 minutes. The longer the better

Preheat oven to 180c, and place baking trays in oven for 10 minutes, before gently turning the falafels over, flattening them slightly, and cooking for a further 10 minutes
Step 5
Serve with flatbreads, salad and dressing of choice
