- 1 medium onion
- 800g chickpeas (2 cans)
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained

- 2 tblsp gluten-free flour (I used rice flour)

Spicy Guacamole Dip..
A simple guacamole recipe made with avocados, tomatoes and chilli flakes, this delicious dip can be made in minutes.
How to make Baked Sun-dried Tomato Falafels (Vegan & GF)
1. Pre-heat the oven to 1800C degrees and line a baking tray with grease proof paper.
2. Place the onion in a food processor and blend until finely chopped.
3. Add in the washed & drained chickpeas, drained sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, garlic clove, salt, pepper and chilli flakes. Whizz up until combined. Don't over blend or you'll end up with a puree.
4. Fold in the flour.
5. With clean hands, form the mixture into desired falafel sizes and place them onto the lined baking tray.
6. Pop the tray into the oven and allow to bake for 20-25 minutes or until crispy and golden in colour. Turn them over half way through cooking, to cook evenly.
7. Remove from the oven and serve immediately, or enjoy cold. Keep stored in a sealed container in the fridge.
I served my falafels with slices of beetroot for colour, lemon & tahini drizzle, sprinkling of broccoli rapini sprouts, spinach leaves, chopped sun-dried tomato!
They are especially delicious paired with fresh, homemade guacamole.
I hope you give these delicious baked sun-dried tomato falafels a try! And if you do, be sure to tag the picture #AVogelRecipes on Pinterest so we can see :)
This recipe is full of goodness
- High in protein
- Good source of fibre
- Packed with vitamins & minerals
With their high protein content, pulses such as kidney beans, adzuki beans, chickpeas and lentils are a great addition to a meat-free diet, which is why they are a favourite ingredient for many vegetarian and vegan dishes.
Packed with fibre, they can also help promote good digestion, and are a good source of vitamins and minerals, such as iron, zinc and magnesium.
