1

Line a baking tray and preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C)*.
2

Rinse and drain the cooked chickpeas (2 cup) if from a jar or can, and dry well using a kitchen cloth.
3

Rinse the frozen green peas (1 cup) with warm water until defrosted. Then using your hands, squeeze as much liquid out of the [frozen green peas] as possible.
4

Add all of the falafel ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to firm up.
5

Scoop up a heaping tablespoon of the mixture at a time and shape into small patties. Coat your hands with a bit of [all purpose flour] to keep the mixture from sticking**.
6

Brush a generous amount of olive oil (1 tbsp) on both sides of each patty on the baking tray.
7

Bake on the centre rack of the preheated oven until golden, about 30 minutes, giving the patties a flip once halfway.
8

Enjoy the patties in a [pita bread] wrap, nourish bowl, or salad with vegan tzatziki (1 cup), hummus (1 cup), romaine lettuce (1 cup) and cherry tomatoes (0.75 cup).
