INGREDIENTS
1 cup Chickpeas (canned, drained)
1/4 cup diced Red Onion
1 Garlic clove
1/4 cup chopped Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Ground Coriander
Pinch of Baking Soda
Olive Oil Cooking Spray
2 tbsp Tahini
3/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Water
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray with olive oil cooking spray.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, diced red onion, garlic, fresh parsley, ground cumin, ground coriander, baking soda, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pulse until a coarse, slightly chunky mixture forms. Avoid over-processing to maintain texture.
Scoop the mixture into small patties or balls, placing them onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten slightly if you prefer a patty shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even crisping.
While the falafel bakes, prepare the lemon tahini drizzle. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, nonfat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, water, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth. Adjust water for desired consistency.
Once baked and crispy, remove the falafel from the oven and drizzle the lemon tahini sauce over them. Serve warm and enjoy your nutritious, protein-packed meal.
