INGREDIENTS
1 cup canned chickpeas (rinsed)
1/4 cup chickpea flour
1/2 cup silken tofu
1 scoop pea protein powder
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1.5 tbsp tahini
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp water
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, chickpea flour, silken tofu, pea protein powder, parsley, garlic, cumin, and coriander. Blend until a coarse, slightly chunky paste forms. Season with salt and pepper.
Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties or balls, placing them on the prepared baking tray. For extra crispness, lightly flatten them.
Bake the falafel for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden and crispy.
While the falafel bakes, prepare the lemon tahini drizzle by whisking together tahini, lemon juice, water, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Adjust the consistency by adding a little more water if needed.
Once the falafel is baked and crispy, remove from the oven and drizzle generously with the lemon tahini sauce.
Serve warm and enjoy your nutritious, protein-packed meal.
