Herbed Chickpea Falafel Patties

Crispy, oven-baked falafel patties packed with fresh herbs and spices. Chickpeas are blended with cilantro, parsley, garlic, and cumin for authentic flavor. Baking them makes them healthier than the deep-fried version without sacrificing texture. Great in pita sandwiches or atop a fresh salad. A vegan protein staple.
