Add the dried chickpeas to a bowl and cover with water, allow to soak for 4 hours or preferably overnight.
Once the chickpeas have been soaked, drain them using the strainer, then rinse them well.
Roughly chop the onion and add it to the food processor, along with the garlic, olive oil, cilantro, parsley, cumin, cinnamon, and drained chickpeas.
Season with a large pinch of salt and pepper, and blend until smooth.
Pour the grapeseed oil into the baking tray and swirl it around so that the tray is completely coated.

Preheat an oven to 375°F.
Using a 2 oz. portion scoop or spoon, scoop the mixture out of the food processor and form it into a little hockey puck shape. It should be about 5 centimeters across and 2 centimeters tall.
Place the falafel on the baking sheet and repeat until all the mixture has been used.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and cook for 15 minutes, then very carefully take them out of the oven and flip them over, place back in the oven and cook for another 10 – 15 minutes, until they are a deep golden brown.
Serve with fresh pitas and pickled turnip!
