Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 cup avocado oil for frying
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and baking powder.
Step 2
Add chopped parsley, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper to the flour mixture. Stir to combine.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then whisk in olive oil and lemon juice.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Make sure it's well combined but not too sticky.
Step 5
Form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and gently flatten them slightly into patties.
Step 6
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the falafel patties to the skillet. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Step 8
Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove the falafels from the skillet and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Step 10
Serve the falafels warm, with your choice of keto-friendly dips or salads.
