  • Total Time: 55 mins
  • Yield: 2-4 (makes eight 2 1/2-inch patties) 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can cooked garbanzo beans (15 ounces; about 1 1/2 cups), drained and rinsed
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped kale
  • 1 cup chopped parsley or cilantro
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup chopped yellow or white onion
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 medium cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons ground corander
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Tzatziki Sauce


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place all of the ingredients (garbanzo beans, kale, parsley or cilantro, rolled oats, onion, lemon juice, garlic, coriander, cumin, and paprika) into a food processor, and process briefly, just until the mixture starts to stick together (it shouldn't be smooth, but have texture where you can still see small bits of ingredients). Transfer this to a medium bowl.
  3. Form 8 balls (1/4 cup falafel for each) and space them evenly on the baking sheet. Flatten each ball with your hand into a patty that is about 2 1/2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes, then gently flip each patty over. Bake for 15 minutes more, or until lightly browned on each side. Let cool at least 5 minutes before serving. Serve with Tzatziki Sauce on the side.
