Ingredients

  • 17 oz canned chickpeas - rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 2 tablespoons besan/chickpea flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • baking spray

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C. 
  • Add the canned chickpeas, spinach, chickpea flour and salt to a food processor and blitz until combined. The mixture should stick together enough to form patties, if it doesn't add more chickpea flour. 
  • Use an ice cream scoop to scoop the falafel on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Press them a bit flatter and spray them with oil. 
  • Bake them in the oven for about 30 minutes, carefully flipping them with a spatula after 20 minutes. They should be crispy on the outside and soft but not mushy on the inside.
