INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup cooked chickpeas
1/4 cup chickpea flour
1 whole egg
1 egg white
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 garlic clove
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
Salt & pepper to taste
1 tbsp tahini
2 tbsp nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tbsp lemon juice
Olive oil cooking spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray with olive oil cooking spray.
In a food processor, blend the cooked chickpeas, garlic, parsley, cumin, and coriander until a coarse mixture forms. Transfer to a bowl.
Add the chickpea flour, whole egg, and egg white to the mixture. Season with salt and pepper and mix until just combined. If the mixture is too thick, add a teaspoon of water.
Scoop the mixture into small patties or balls, about 3-4 per serving, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the falafel are golden and crispy on the outside.
While the falafel are baking, prepare the lemon-garlic tahini sauce by whisking together tahini, nonfat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
Once baked, serve the falafel warm with a drizzle of the tahini sauce on top. Enjoy!
