Steps

Read instruction and ready to cook

1
Drain and rinse chickpeas

Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

2
Prepare the vegetables

Peel and roughly chop the red onion. Peel the garlic cloves. Roughly chop the parsley and cilantro.

3
Process the falafel mixture

In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, chopped onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture is well combined and resembles a coarse paste.

4
Add baking powder and flour

Transfer the falafel mixture to a large bowl. Stir in the baking powder and all-purpose flour until well combined.

5
Preheat the waffle iron

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

6
Cook the falafel waffles

Grease the waffle iron with cooking spray. Scoop about 1/2 cup of the falafel mixture onto the center of the waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the waffle is golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

7
Prepare the tahini sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini and juice from the lemon. If the sauce is too thick, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.

8
Serve

Serve the hot falafel waffles with the tahini sauce on the side. Enjoy!
