INGREDIENTS
1 cup canned chickpeas, drained
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 garlic cloves
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp tahini
1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, rolled oats, chopped parsley, garlic, cumin, coriander, and salt. Pulse until the mixture is coarse but sticks together. Do not over-process; you want texture.
Form the mixture into small patties or balls, about 3-4 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the falafel are crisp and golden brown on the outside.
While the falafel is baking, prepare the lemon-garlic tahini sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, and a tablespoon of water (add more as needed) to achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.
Once baked, serve the falafel warm with a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt and drizzle the lemon-garlic tahini sauce over the top. Enjoy as a hearty breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
