1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200°C fan / 425°F and line a large baking tray with baking paper.

   Place the chickpeas, coriander, parsley, paprika, garlic, onion, breadcrumbs, and sun-dried tomatoes in a food processor along with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. 

   
3. 3

   Process until mostly combined and until you can shape the mixture into a ball.

   
4. 4

   Roll the mixture into roughly 18 falafel balls and place on the lined baking tray. Next, brush each ball with oil. Bake for 25-35 minutes.

   Meanwhile if you’re making the tahini dressing, in a small bowl combine the lemon juice with 3 tablespoons of water, the tahini paste and maple syrup.

   We like to serve the falafel on a flatbread with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, hot sauce and the tahini dressing.
