On their own, in a wrap, or on top of a salad—baked falafel is a great addition to any lunchbox or party platter!

Ingredients

  • 3 Weet-Bix, finely crushed
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained
  • 1 cup frozen peas, thawed and drained
  • 1 spring onion, roughly chopped
  • 1⁄2 tsp salt
  • 1⁄2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1⁄2 tsp ground coriander
  • 2 tbs sesame seeds

Method

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line an oven tray with baking paper.

  2. Step 2

    In a food processor, pulse chickpeas, peas, spring onion, salt and spices to a rough paste. Add crushed Weet-Bix and pulse again to combine.

  3. Step 3

    Roll walnut sized pieces of the mixture into balls and toss in sesame seeds to coat. Place falafels on prepared trays and press tops to flatten slightly.

  4. Step 4

    Bake for 20–22 minutes until golden. Serve warm or at room temperature, with a dipping sauce or simply on their own.
