Oven-Baked Falafel

Description

It works for both holidays and everyday meals. Many people have tried falafel from street stalls or other fast-food places. But there it’s cooked in a deep fryer, which, you’ll agree, isn’t exactly healthy. I suggest trying oven-baked falafel. It’s easy—and even simpler than frying it in oil. To make oven falafel you’ll need chickpeas (you can grind them dry or soak them first), sesame seeds, an egg, and herbs.
