This delicious traditional Middle Eastern favourite dish is vegan, gluten free and packed with flavour, perfect for a weeknight dinner. You can use them to fill pita pocket or tortilla, or enjoy them on a bed of seasonal salad with either yoghurt dressing or tahini sauce.

  • 200 g Dried green peas, shelled
  • 2 Shallots, chopped
  • 2 clove Garlic, minced
  • 1 bunch Flat leaf parsley
  • 1 bunch Mint leaves
  • 1 tsp Coriander powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin powder
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp Chilli powder
  • Sea salt to taste
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  • 1-2 tbsp Coconut oil, melted
  1. Place the shelled peas in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Set aside overnight to soak. Drain well.
  2. Preheat oven to 200C/400F. Place the drained peas, chopped shallots, minced garlic, parsley, mint leaves, spices and baking soda in the bowl of a food processor and process, scraping down the side of the bowl regularly, until smooth. Set aside for 30 minutes to develop flavours.
  3. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Divide the mixture into 18 to 20 portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten slightly. Place on the prepared tray and brush with melted coconut oil. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until light golden brown. Serve with yoghurt or tahini sauce.

You are so creative Angie. I love falafel but would never have thought to put them together with peas. Such a pretty color too!

I was just thinking about falafels the other day - but this is a wonderful and creative twist on the same old recipes. Love that these are baked. Thanks for sharing Angie! So pretty too!

Angie, I love falafel, though it's been a long time since I had it last. Your version with peas sounds wonderful!

This is the recipe I’ve been waiting for. I love Falafel but I hate that they are usually always deep fried. It takes the joy out of eating it for me. Who wants to snack on deep fried foods? I know I don’t. Your Vegan BAKED Falafels look amazing. I can’t wait to try them.

[Reply]
Balvinder 4/8/17 02:43

Yum! Love falafal. These baked ones look amazing!

[Reply]
mjskit 4/8/17 04:23

What a great twist on the delicious falafel! I notice that you rehydrate the dried peas. So, would fresh peas work? I'm sure the texture would off, but do you think you could still get it to hold together? I've always wanted to make falafel at home and I do love your recipes.

[Reply]
Abbe@This is How I Cook 4/8/17 06:38

Who would think of such an easy switch? Great idea Angie! I like peas better than chickpeas!

[Reply]
Angie's Recipes 4/8/17 07:38

@mjskit I haven't tried it with fresh peas, but don't see why it won't work. The difference is that dried green peas I used are shelled, so the fresh one might be a bit crumbly, but with the help of a little bit of flour might do the trick.

[Reply]
noobcook 4/8/17 08:34

cute and tasty looking nibbles!

[Reply]
Nava K 4/8/17 10:26

This is my recipe. We have green peas flour over here, which means I can save time in making and I think a fried version should be good? Of course, baking is healthier, can I pop one in my mouth right now please?

I love how you've adapted this with dried green peas, Angie! Simple and easy to make any time of year. Just a little dipping sauce and I'd be a happy gal :) Great pics!

A dear friend gave me a felafel press a couple of years ago and I've never used it! The last felafel recipe I tried was dry so I'm interested in trying your recipe. Are dried green peas the same as split peas? Can I substitute frozen green peas and not have to rehydrate them?

I adore falafels, I could eat them every day, but it is difficult to find a baked version that works. I am so trying these, the fact that they are made with dried green peas makes them very interesting as well.
