Baked Falafels with Lemon and Kale

Dinner | May 27, 2015 | By

Anyone who knows me, knows that my favourite kind of meal is a big salad with lots of different things in it. I especially love having leftovers in the fridge that I can easily pull together with some greens. And after 8 months of eating (sub-par) caf food, I was excited to get back to making salads, or any kind of meal, and having control over what went in them. I also had to get back into the habit of making my own lunch to take to work everyday. While I enjoy doing this, mornings are always rushed and it’s sometimes a struggle to cobble together an appetizing meal. I whipped up these falafels yesterday in less than 30 minutes and they are the perfect addition to my lunchtime salads. Baked instead of fried, they are healthy and filling; something to look forward to after a long morning of work. 

Makes 12 falafels

Ingredients:
One 19 oz can chickpeas
2 cloves garlic
1 cup baby kale
2 green onions
1 cup cilantro
2 tsp cumin
Zest and juice of 1/2 a lemon
1 tsp chili flakes
1 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
