This Gluten-Free Falafel may be one of the easiest recipes that I have ever made. This recipe doesn’t involve many ingredients and it only took me about 20 minutes to make. This recipe is packed with flavor, gluten-free, and naturally vegan. It makes about 10 falafel total. I like topping the falafel over a salad with tahini sauce. The falafel also taste great in pita bread.

What You’ll Need:

Chickpeas: You, of course, can’t make falafel without chickpeas!

Cassava Flour: Cassava flour is the only flour in this recipe. It is a root vegetable flour that is naturally gluten-free.

Herbs & Spices: Cilantro, Parsley, Cumin, Coriander, Salt, and Pepper give this falafel a delicious flavor.

Veggies: You will also need Garlic, Red Onion, Lemon juice for this recipe.

Avocado Oil: I use avocado oil for high temperature cooking and air frying because it has a high smoke point.

How to Make the Gluten-Free Falafel:

Blend all ingredients in a food processor. You will need to scrap the sides of the food processor several times throughout the process.
Form the mixture into small ball shapes.
Coat a frying pan with avocado oil and cook the falafel on medium heat. You will need to flip the falafel several times throughout the process to evening cook them. Cook until the falafel are crispy on the outside.
Place the falafel on a paper towel and allow to cool.
