INGREDIENTS
2 cups cooked Chickpeas
1 Large Egg
2 Tbsp Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
1/2 cup Fresh Parsley (loosely packed)
1/2 cup Fresh Cilantro (loosely packed)
2 Garlic Cloves
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Pepper
0.75 cup Fat-free Greek Yogurt
1 Tbsp Tahini
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the cooked chickpeas, egg, breadcrumbs, parsley, cilantro, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely blended but still holds some texture.
Shape the mixture into small patties or balls, about the size of a walnut, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush each falafel with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the falafel are crisp and golden on the outside.
For the lemon-herb tahini sauce, in a small bowl combine the fat-free Greek yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve the baked falafel warm with a generous drizzle of lemon-herb tahini sauce.
