INGREDIENTS
1 cup canned chickpeas (drained)
1 large egg
1/8 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 small red onion, roughly chopped
1 garlic clove (for falafel mix)
2 tbsp fresh parsley
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 garlic clove (for sauce)
Salt and 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, egg, whole wheat flour, chopped red onion, garlic, parsley, and ground cumin. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pulse until the mixture is roughly blended but still retains some texture.
Divide the mixture into 5-6 equal-sized patties and shape them evenly. Place the patties on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the falafel in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crisp and golden on the outside.
While the falafel bakes, prepare the lemon-garlic sauce. In a small bowl, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt with lemon juice and the extra garlic clove (minced). Season with a little salt and pepper, then mix well.
Once the falafel are finished baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with a generous drizzle of the lemon-garlic yogurt sauce.
