Ingredients:

  • 3 Weet-Bix, finely crushed
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained
  • 1 cup frozen peas, thawed and drained
  • 1 spring onion, roughly chopped
  • 1⁄2 tsp salt
  • 1⁄2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1⁄2 tsp ground coriander
  • 2 tbs sesame seeds

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line an oven tray with baking paper.
  2. In a food processor, pulse chickpeas, peas, spring onion, salt and spices to a rough paste. Add crushed Weet-Bix and pulse again to combine.
  3. Roll walnut sized pieces of the mixture into balls and toss in sesame seeds to coat. Place falafels on prepared trays and press tops to flatten slightly.
  4. Bake for 20–22 minutes until golden. Serve warm or at room temperature, with a dipping sauce or simply on their own.

Tips:

  • Borg’s puff pastry available in Woolworths is vegan
  • Uncooked rolls can be frozen and baked in the oven from frozen when required
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired
