INGREDIENTS
1.25 cups canned chickpeas (drained)
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh parsley
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp olive oil (plus extra for brushing)
1 tbsp tahini
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 garlic clove (for sauce)
1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the canned chickpeas, chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, parsley, cilantro, ground cumin, ground coriander, and baking powder. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely blended but not completely smooth.
Form the mixture into small patties or balls, about the size of a golf ball. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly brush or spray the falafel with olive oil to help achieve a crispy exterior.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the falafel are golden and firm.
Meanwhile, prepare the lemon-herb tahini sauce by whisking together tahini, lemon juice, the garlic clove (minced), and a splash of water until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt if needed.
Serve the baked falafel with a drizzle of lemon-herb tahini sauce and a side of nonfat Greek yogurt for a refreshing boost of protein. Enjoy your meal!
