INGREDIENTS
1 cup Chickpeas (cooked)
1 small Red Onion, chopped
2 cloves Garlic (for falafel)
1/4 cup Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Ground Coriander
Cooking Spray
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Tahini
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic (for sauce)
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment with cooking spray.
In a food processor, combine chickpeas, chopped red onion, 2 garlic cloves, parsley, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture is coarse but holds together.
Form the mixture into small patties (about 4-5 patties) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the falafel patties for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the nonfat Greek yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic (from the separate clove), salt, and a splash of water if needed to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
To plate, serve the crispy baked falafel alongside the cooked quinoa and drizzle generously with the lemon-garlic tahini sauce.
