A more fitting name for these would be “Green Veggie Patties, but it just doesn’t have a nice ring to it, and these things look a lot like falafels! This dish is fresh, crunchy, and healthy fast-food. All you have to do is mix all the ingredients in a blender, shape the balls as you want, and put them in the oven. These things go with almost anything, but if you’re looking for a light, nutrient-filled lunch, I’d serve them with a fresh salad! If you love the taste, make a larger batch and take them with you on a picnic or take some with you to your friend’s place!
If you are one of those people that think you need to soak chickpeas overnight, you are correct! If you are one of those people that just suddenly crave falafels (like me), use canned chickpeas and if you don’t want to monitor hot oil in a pot, put the chickpeas in the oven!
Below you will find the recipe for the latter, the easier way.
