**This is very important, canned chickpeas will bring too much moisture into the falafel
2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. To a food processor or high speed blender, combine soaked chickpeas, olive oil, parsley, cilantro, garlic, onion, paprika, cumin, baking powder, flour, salt and pepper.
4. Scoop falafel mixture using a spoon or cookie scooper to make balls and place on the baking sheet.
5. Bake falafel for 20-23 minutes until golden brown and crispy
