Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the grated beetroot, chickpeas, red onion, garlic, and parsley. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely combined.

Step 3

Add the cumin, coriander, baking powder, flour, salt, and black pepper to the food processor. Pulse again until the mixture is well combined but still retains some texture.

Step 4

Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls or patties, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Brush each falafel with a little olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the falafel are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Step 7

Let cool slightly before serving.

Step 8

Enjoy your soy-free beetroot falafel in wraps, on salads, or as a snack.
