INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cooked Chickpeas
1 Large Egg
1/4 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese
1 tbsp Tahini
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1/4 cup Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 Garlic Clove
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Ground Coriander
2 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, egg, crumbled feta, garlic, fresh parsley, nutritional yeast, cumin, and coriander. Pulse until the mixture is mostly blended but still has some texture.
Form the mixture into small, equal-sized patties (about 10-12 pieces) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the falafel patties are firm and lightly browned.
While the falafel bakes, prepare the lemon tahini drizzle by mixing tahini with fresh lemon juice. If the sauce is too thick, add a teaspoon of water to reach your desired consistency.
Remove the falafel from the oven and drizzle with the lemon tahini sauce. Serve warm, and enjoy your flavorful, protein-packed meal.
