INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked chickpeas
1/4 cup chickpea flour
1/4 medium red onion
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
1 tablespoon tahini
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon cumin powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a food processor, combine the cooked chickpeas, chickpea flour, red onion, garlic, fresh parsley, cumin powder, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture is just combined but still slightly chunky.
Scoop out the mixture into small patties or balls, about the size of a golf ball. Lightly brush them with olive oil to help with browning.
Place the falafel on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crisp and golden on the outside.
While the falafel bakes, prepare the lemon-herb tahini sauce by whisking together tahini, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a little water if needed to achieve a smooth consistency.
Once baked, serve the falafel warm topped with a drizzle of lemon-herb tahini sauce alongside a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt. Enjoy the crispy texture with the refreshing tang of the sauce.
