INGREDIENTS
1.5 cups Cooked Chickpeas
2 large Egg Whites
1/4 cup chopped Red Onion
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1/4 cup chopped Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Ground Cumin
Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 tbsp Tahini
2 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 clove Garlic (for sauce)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the cooked chickpeas, egg whites, red onion, garlic, fresh parsley, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely blended but not completely pureed to maintain texture.
Scoop the mixture into small patties or balls (about 4-5 per serving) and gently press them onto the lined baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the falafel are firm and lightly crispy on the outside.
While the falafel bake, prepare the lemon-garlic tahini sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the nonfat Greek yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, and the additional minced garlic until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Once the falafel are baked to a crispy perfection, serve warm with the lemon-garlic tahini sauce drizzled on top or as a dipping side.
