Besides being delicious, these easy-to-make chickpea waffles are similar to falafel, so they can be served as falafel: in a pita with fresh and pickled vegetables. You can fry them ahead of time and store them in the freezer in individual bags for quick reheating in the toaster or oven.

The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.
1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

1/3 cup vegetable oil, plus extra for greasing the waffle iron

0.5 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Ingredient Substitution Suggestions

We recommend

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Preheat oven to 95°C (to handle warm waffles).
Combine oil, cilantro, flour, parsley, baking powder, cumin, salt, coriander, cayenne pepper, egg whites, garlic, and chickpeas in a food processor and process until smooth.

Lightly grease the top and bottom plates of a waffle iron. Fill the waffle iron about three-quarters full (some of the iron should still be visible). Carefully close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and firm in the center, 6–10 minutes. Keep the finished waffles warm in the oven or cover them with foil on a plate while you cook the remaining waffles.
Fill each pita half with a waffle. Add any toppings, drizzle with hummus, and a few drops of hot sauce.

Note

Waffles can be frozen in zip-lock plastic bags for up to 1 month. Reheat in a toaster or oven at 150°C.
