INGREDIENTS
1 cup Canned Chickpeas (drained)
2 Tbsp Chickpea Flour
1/4 cup Red Onion, diced
2 Garlic cloves
1/4 cup Fresh Parsley, chopped
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 tsp Baking Powder
1 Tbsp Tahini
2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 Tbsp Water
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse and drain the canned chickpeas. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, chickpea flour, diced red onion, garlic, fresh parsley, olive oil, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely blended; avoid over-processing to retain some texture.
Scoop the mixture into small patties or balls, about the size of a golf ball, and place them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the falafel are golden and crispy on the outside.
While the falafel bakes, prepare the lemon tahini drizzle by whisking together tahini, lemon juice, water, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Serve the hot, crispy falafel drizzled with the lemon tahini sauce, accompanied by a side of nonfat Greek yogurt for an extra protein boost and cool contrast.
Enjoy your balanced and flavorful meal!
