Sprouted Chickpea Baked Falafel - Gluten-Free/Wheat-Free/Vegan

This sprouted chickpea falafel is oven-baked, as opposed to the traditional unhealthy deep-fried falafel. It is of course also gluten-free/wheat free and vegan.

Ingredients:

• Chickpeas (Garbanzo beans) - 1.5 cups, sprouted (how to sprout chickpeas)
• Onion - 1 (large), chopped
• Garlic - 4 cloves, peeled
• Cilantro - 1 bunch
• Olive oil - 4 tablespoons
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Pepper - to taste

Directions:

1. Pre-heat oven to 360 F (180 C).
2. In a food processor, mix all ingredients to either chunky or smooth consistency (based on personal preference).
3. Grease a baking sheet.
4. Make small patties (with wet hands so that the mixture doesn't stick to the hands), place on baking sheet, 1 inch apart.
