Ingredients

The following ingredients have 18 Servings
  • 1 cup of dried chickpeas (soaked at least 12 hours, drained, and rinsed)
  • 4 teaspoons lime juice
  • 1/2 lime ((zested; around 1 teaspoon))
  • 3 cloves garlic ((minced))
  • 1 shallot ((minced))
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup black beans
  • 1/2 cup corn
  • 1/4 cup cilantro ((chopped))
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • Greek yogurt

Instruction

  • Pre-heat oven to 400 F.
  • Combine chickpeas and lime juice in a food processor and blend until chickpeas are coarse and mealy (they shouldn't form a paste).
  • In a large bowl, mix chickpeas with remaining ingredients until completely combined.
  • Form falafel balls with 1.5 tablespoons of mixture and placed on a cookie sheet lined with a greased sheet of parchment or silicone baking mat. *they may seem crumbly; press together gently. They will firm up in the oven.*
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly browned on top.
  • Serve immediately with a dollop of Greek yogurt, or other dipping sauce.
