Gluten-free Falafel

Step 1

In a food processor, combine the carrot, garlic and parsley. Blend on high until finely chopped. Add the chickpeas then blend again until finely chopped. The mixture should stick together when pressed between your fingers. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.

Step 2

To the bowl, add the cumin, coriander, salt, pepper, flour, breadcrumbs, lemon juice, and water. Stir to combine. Add more flour if mixture is too wet or more water if it's too dry. Using an ice cream scooper, scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and form into balls with your hands. Transfer to a lined baking sheet until you have formed all of the batter into balls.

Step 3

Warm oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the falafel and cook on each side until golden brown.

Step 4

Combine yogurt and lemon juice in a small bowl. Serve warm falafel with yogurt sauce, and enjoy!
