1/4 cup chickpea flour (30g)

1/2 cup silken tofu (120g)

10g unflavored pea protein powder

2 garlic cloves

1/4 medium onion (chopped)

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, silken tofu, chickpea flour, pea protein powder, garlic, onion, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until a coarse, slightly chunky mixture forms.

• 3

  Scoop the mixture into small patties or balls, flattening them slightly to form falafel patties. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

• 4

  Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the falafel are firm and starting to crisp on the edges.

• 5

  Meanwhile, prepare the lemon-garlic tahini sauce by whisking together tahini, lemon juice, an extra crushed garlic clove, and water until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more water if needed and season with a pinch of salt.

• 6

  Remove the falafel from the oven and serve them warm drizzled with the lemon-garlic tahini sauce. Enjoy your meal!
