INGREDIENTS
1 cup canned chickpeas (drained)
1/2 cup shelled edamame
1/4 cup diced red onion
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup fresh parsley
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp olive oil cooking spray
1 tbsp tahini
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp fresh mint
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, edamame, red onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely blended but still holds some texture.
Form the mixture into small patties or balls, ensuring they are compact and uniform.
Lightly spray the patties with olive oil cooking spray and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the falafel are crispy on the outside.
While the falafel bakes, prepare the lemon-herb tahini sauce by whisking together tahini, fresh lemon juice, nonfat Greek yogurt, chopped fresh mint, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Remove the falafel from the oven and serve warm with a generous drizzle of the lemon-herb tahini sauce. Enjoy!
