  1. To make the falafel, heat oven to 400°F. Line 15×10-inch baking pan with parchment paper; set aside.
  2. Place all falafel ingredients except flour in food processor. Process until forms fine meal. Scrape down sides; add flour. Pulse until mixture starts to lump together. Divide mixture into 16 portions; form each portion into ball. Gently flatten balls between palms of hands; place on prepared baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes; flip. Continue baking for 10 minutes.
