Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). 🔥
2️⃣ Drain and rinse the soaked chickpeas. Place them in a food processor along with the onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, baking powder, flour, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still coarse. 🌿🌱
3️⃣ Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape it into small patties. Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 🍥
4️⃣ Lightly spray the falafel patties with olive oil. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy. ⏳
5️⃣ Warm the pita bread or flatbreads in the oven or on a skillet. 🌯
6️⃣ To assemble the sandwiches, spread hummus inside each pita or flatbread. Add a few baked falafel patties, then top with sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, fresh greens, and a drizzle of tzatziki or tahini sauce. 🍅🥒🥗
7️⃣ Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious baked falafel sandwiches! 😋
