Vegan Baked Falafel Burgers Recipe

This recipe of patties of falafel in the oven is easy, healthy, delicious... and only requires 7 ingredients. It is also flavored with garlic and cumin, which gives it the smoky flavor and spicy which I like.

For a healthier option, you can also bake them, although I prefer to fry them previously to create a crust extra on the outside.

Ingredients

• 1 package fresh parsley (2 cups chopped parsley)
• 3 teeth garlic large
• 22 – 45 g de nuts, walnuts, almonds or oatmeal uncooked ground
• 1 lemon large
• 1/2 teaspoon short of each sea salt 
•  1/4 teaspoon of cumin
• 1 can of chickpeas 425 g drained
• A pinch of black pepper

Instructions

1. Add the parsley, the garlic, the lemon juice, cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper to a food processor and blend.
2. Add the chickpeas and beat with mixer until blended, but are slightly cut. You want to maintain a bit of texture.
3. Pass the meat to a bowl, add the flour, nuts (or oatmeal), and then mix until you have a thin crust and hard enough to handle it. Taste and correct the seasoning if necessary, and add a little more salt if necessary.
4. Draw an “x” in the dough to make 4 pieces then use your hands to make 4 loaves of bread, large.
5. Place them on a baking tray lined with aluminum foil and leave them in the fridge or in the freezer for 15 minutes to harden. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees.
6. OPTIONAL STEP: To get a bit more crust on the outside, preheat a large skillet over medium or medium-high and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil or avocado before baking. Stir to coat the pan and add the falafel. Flip with care, a once golden – about 3-4 minutes – and then brown the other side – another 3-4 minutes. Replace the falafels in the pan to continue baking. If not, place them directly in the oven for baking.
7. Bake for a total of 30-40 minutes, turning once half-baked so they will cook evenly. The more time the hornees, the more firm will be.
8. Serve hot, wrapped in a pita bread or a bun, and covered with the sauce, or dressing as desired. You can also serve on a salad and use the garlic sauce as the dressing.
9. The patties can be stored in the refrigerator, covered with parchment paper in an airtight container for several days. Freeze them to preserve them for a longer time.
