Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.

Add the chickpeas to a large mixing bowl. Use a potato masher to mash them until mostly broken down, leaving some larger pieces for texture.

Add the scallions, parsley, smoked paprika, cumin, flour, and vegetable oil to the bowl. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir until well combined.

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties. If the mixture feels too soft, add an extra tablespoon of flour.

Arrange the patties on the prepared baking pan.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the patties are golden brown and crisp around the edges.

Serve the falafel patties inside warm pita bread with hummus, fresh vegetables, and pickles.
