Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat chickpeas very dry with paper towels — excess moisture is the #1 cause of falafel that won't hold together. Spread on a baking sheet and bake 10 minutes to dry them out further.
2
Pulse chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, and cayenne in a food processor until finely chopped but NOT smooth — you want a rough, coarse texture. Transfer to a bowl and mix in flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. If the mixture feels too wet to form balls, add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time.
3
Form into 16 golf ball-sized balls and flatten slightly into patties. Place on an oiled baking sheet and brush tops generously with olive oil. Bake at 425°F for 12 minutes, then flip and bake another 10–12 minutes until deeply golden and crispy on both sides.
4
Serve falafel in warm pita with tahini sauce, diced cucumber, tomato, and sliced red onion. Drizzle extra tahini on top. Falafel can be made ahead and reheated in the oven for 8 minutes to restore crispiness.
