Instructions

1. Drain the chickpeas and puree them finely in a food processor. Also puree the zucchini finely, add the onion and garlic at the same time and puree with. Fold in the breadcrumbs, flour, finely chopped parsley and mint and the spices. Mix everything. This is best done with your hands. The dough should still be nice and soggy.
2. Heat up a waffle iron and brush the surfaces lightly with olive oil. I like to use a huge ice cream scoop for portioning. Bake until the surface is lightly browned. Of course, this differs from device to device. I used my old heart waffle iron here. It is best to use a waffle iron for Belgian waffles. Otherwise the falafel will get very dry.
3. In addition, a delicious garlic dip.
