INGREDIENTS
1.5 cups Chickpeas (drained)
4 Egg Whites
1/4 medium Onion, chopped
2 Garlic cloves
1/4 cup Fresh Parsley, chopped
1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro, chopped
1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
1/2 tsp Ground Coriander
1/4 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Tahini
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Water
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, egg whites, chopped onion, garlic, parsley, and cilantro. Pulse until the mixture is coarse but well combined; avoid over-processing to maintain texture.
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, baking powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Pulse a few more times until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Form the mixture into small patties or balls (about 5-6 pieces) and place them on the baking sheet. Lightly drizzle or spray each piece with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until the falafel are golden and crisp on the outside.
Meanwhile, prepare the lemon-tahini drizzle by whisking together tahini, lemon juice, and water in a small bowl. Adjust the water to achieve a smooth, drizzling consistency.
Once the falafel are done, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before drizzling the lemon-tahini sauce over or serving on the side.
Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed, crispy baked falafel.
