INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Chickpeas (164g)
¼ small Onion (~25g)
2 cloves Garlic (~6g)
½ cup chopped Fresh Parsley (30g)
½ cup chopped Fresh Cilantro (8g)
¼ cup Whole Wheat Flour (30g)
1 tsp Ground Cumin
½ tsp Baking Powder
Olive Oil Spray
1 tbsp Tahini (15g)
2 tbsp Lemon Juice (30ml)
1 tsp Fresh Dill
½ cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (120g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray with olive oil.
In a food processor, combine the cooked chickpeas, onion, garlic, fresh parsley, fresh cilantro, whole wheat flour, ground cumin, and baking powder. Pulse until the mixture reaches a coarse, textured consistency, but not completely smooth.
Scoop the mixture into small patties or balls, pressing gently to form a consistent shape.
Place the falafel patties on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray the tops with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the falafel is firm and golden, ensuring a crispy exterior.
While the falafel bakes, prepare the lemon-herb tahini sauce by whisking together tahini, lemon juice, fresh dill, and a splash of water to achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.
Once baked, remove the falafel from the oven and drizzle the lemon-herb tahini sauce over them or serve it on the side along with a serving of nonfat Greek yogurt for an extra protein punch.
Serve warm and enjoy your nutritious, flavor-packed meal.
