INGREDIENTS
1 cup Canned Chickpeas (No Salt Added) (240g)
1/4 cup Chopped Red Onion (40g)
2 cloves Minced Garlic (6g)
1/3 cup Chopped Fresh Parsley (16g)
1/3 cup Chopped Fresh Cilantro (16g)
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Ground Coriander
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
2 tbsp Tahini (30g)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice (15g)
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (125g)
2 tbsp Water
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with olive oil.
In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, red onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, ground cumin, ground coriander, and baking powder. Pulse until the mixture is coarse but holds together; avoid over-processing to retain texture.
Scoop the falafel mixture into small patties or balls, placing them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the falafel in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even crisping on both sides.
While the falafel is baking, prepare the creamy tahini drizzle. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, nonfat Greek yogurt, and water until smooth. Adjust consistency with additional water if needed.
Once the falafel are crispy and golden, remove them from the oven. Drizzle the creamy tahini sauce generously over the falafel or serve it on the side for dipping.
Enjoy your crispy baked falafel as a delicious and nutritious meal any time of day.
