INGREDIENTS
1.5 cups cooked chickpeas (approx. 246g)
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup diced red onion
2 garlic cloves
1 tsp ground cumin
Pinch of salt
1 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp tahini
2 tsp lemon juice
1/3 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
2 tbsp water
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a food processor, combine the cooked chickpeas, fresh parsley, diced red onion, garlic cloves, ground cumin, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until the mixture is coarse but well-integrated, ensuring some texture remains.
Form the mixture into small patties or balls, about the size of a golf ball, and place them on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly brush or spray them with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, turning halfway, until the falafel are golden and crispy on the edges.
While the falafel is baking, prepare the lemon-garlic tahini sauce by whisking together tahini, lemon juice, non-fat Greek yogurt, and water in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust with a bit more water if a thinner consistency is desired.
Once baked, serve the falafel warm and drizzle generously with the lemon-garlic tahini sauce. Enjoy as a standalone dish or alongside a fresh salad.
