INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup Canned Chickpeas (drained)
1/4 cup Chickpea Flour
1/4 cup Cooked Quinoa
3 Egg Whites
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro, chopped
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tsp Ground Cumin
Salt and Pepper to taste
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Tahini
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, chickpea flour, cooked quinoa, egg whites, garlic, parsley, cilantro, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Pulse until just combined; avoid over-processing to keep some texture.
Form the mixture into 3-4 compact patties and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through until the patties are firm and golden brown.
While the falafel bakes, prepare the lemon tahini drizzle by whisking together the nonfat Greek yogurt, tahini, and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Once the falafel patties are crispy and baked through, drizzle with the lemon tahini sauce and serve immediately.
