- ½ cup chopped shallots or yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Are you ready? Let's start!
In a large food processor, place the chickpeas, shallots, garlic, lemon zest, cumin, coriander, salt, red pepper flakes, baking powder, cilantro leaves, parsley, and olive oil. Blend until well combined but not pureed. Don't worry, it's very easy!
Take 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape into 12 to 15 thick patties with your hands. Be careful not to make them too tight, or your falafel will be dense. Now, we've reached the most enjoyable part!
