Crispy Baked Lemon Chickpea Cakes
Classic falafels get a healthy spring update in our Crispy Baked Lemon Chickpea Cakes. Instead of frying, we use an oven-baked method that makes them crispy on the outside and soft one the inside. We pack them full of lemon zest, lemon juice, sweet leeks and dijon mustard for a zippy kick. Perfect on top of a salad or served on their own with a touch of greek yogurt.
