Loaded Falafels

Print Friendly and PDF

Don't you just love falafels?  The fun thing about them is you can make them in such a variety of ways.  I do not fry mine, I only bake.  Lately I have been using my convection oven to bake a big batch in and they get just a little more of a crunch to them.  If you are making a smaller batch or to reheat, try them in the air fryer for an even crunchier result.  This batch of falafels I pulled out all the stops and left chunks of fresh veggies in, and it resulted in one of the most flavorful falafels ever.  I hope you enjoy them.  This is for a really large batch, eat a few and freeze the rest, they re heat very well in the toaster oven, or air fryer..

Ingredients:
3 cans of Garbanzo Beans drained and rinsed
3 T Garbanzo Bean Flour mixed with 1 tsp of baking powder
2-3 T Nutritional Yeast  (add even more if you like)
1 tsp Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer, mixed with 1 T water (optional, helps them stick to together a bit easier)
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp poultry seasoning
3 tsp minced garlic
S&P to taste  (consider using 1 T of Mrs. Dash Original Seasoning instead of salt)
______
2 stalks of celery diced
1/2 red pepper diced
1 small white onion diced
1/2 cup fresh Flat Italian Parsley
2 fresh basil leaves
1 sprig of fresh oregano
1 cup of chopped walnuts
1/2 cup instant oatmeal (uncooked)
1/2 cup bread crumbs of your choice

I think you will find it works best to do this in a food processor, and I suggest doing it in two batches as shown above separated.  Put the first batch with the beans in the food processor and just pulse about 5-8 times until still chunky but mixed.  Do NOT over process or it will turn into hummus. Put into large bowl, then put all of the bottom ingredients into the food processor.  You can make this as chunky or as fine as you prefer, I think it gives a good flavor blast to leave a few quite chunky pieces in there, especially of the red pepper.
Once processed to your liking, combine with the first batch in a large bowl and mix well. Add T of water as needed to get the right consistency.  Roll into ping pong size ball and place onto parchment paper, and flatten out just a bit.  Bake for approx. 35 min at 375 degrees turning once or until med brown.  If you have an air fryer, these are excellent in the air fryer for about 17 min, shaking once.  Eat what you want and freeze the rest for later.  These are really good served in a pita bread with some vegan mayo, and freshly sliced tomatoes.
