The ingredients for Baked Falafel Balls are:

1 garlic clove
8 oz. canned garbanzo beans, drained (half a can)
2 T. egg whites
1 tsp. cumin
1 Tsp dried parsley
Dash Salt & pepper
1/2 Tsp. Italian seasoning
1/2 Tsp. Chili Powder
1/2 Tsp. Lemon Juice
1/2 Tsp. Baking Powder
1/8 c. Whole Wheat Flour / Bread Crumbs / Crushed crackers

Here is how you make Baked Falafel Balls:

Preheat oven to 375. In measuring cup, measure out your eggs and add all spices, lemon juice, baking powder, and bread crumbs or flour. Set aside.Mash chick peas in a bowl with a fork. Some "chunks" are good - doesn't need to be put in a food processor! Chop your scallion finely as well as garlic, and add to chick pea bowl. Add egg white mixture to chick pea mixture, and combine. Spray a baking sheet with Pam. Spoon mixture onto palms and roll into rounded balls. I made 8, about the size of a golf ball.Bake about 15 minutes. You can flip halfway through if you'd like; I would have but I forgot! These are great with Cedar's tzatziki if you can't make your own. I had them on a salad with a Joseph's Flax & WW pita on the side. Delicious! Nutritional info is per ball; I would consider a serving more like 3, but it's helpful to know what each one is :)Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JLK03090.
