Baked Falafel

Submitted by kazanoodle

Makes 9 servings

Note - the bread was double toasted - four slices - then ran through the food processor. I pan-fried with pam until browned, then baked at 400 for 20 min, ten minutes each side. Nommy. >D

Ingredients

15	ounce chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained
2	g dried onion
3	g dried garlic
1/4	c eggbeaters
2	teaspoons ground cumin
1/4	teaspoon salt
1	dash pepper
1/10	tsp cayenne pepper
1	teaspoon lemon juice
1	teaspoon baking powder
92	g wonder light

Directions

Preheat oven, 400F.
In a large bowl mash chickpeas until thick and pasty; don't use a blender, as the consistency will be too thin. In a blender, process onion, parsley and garlic until smooth. Stir into mashed chickpeas.
In a small bowl combine egg, cumin, coriander, salt, pepper, cayenne, lemon juice and baking powder. Stir into chickpea mixture along with olive oil. Slowly add bread crumbs until mixture is not sticky but will hold together; add more or less bread crumbs, as needed. Form 8 balls and then flatten into patties.
Pan fry about two minutes each side, using cooking spray.
Pam falafel, stick in preheated 400 degree oven. Cook for 20 min, flipping falafels (?is that the plural? o.O) after 10.
