INGREDIENTS
1 cup Chickpeas, cooked
1/4 medium Red Onion, quartered
1 Garlic Clove
1/4 cup Fresh Parsley, chopped
1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
1/2 tsp Ground Coriander
1/4 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Tahini
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 cups Mixed Greens
1 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, red onion, garlic, and fresh parsley. Pulse until slightly chunky but well-incorporated.
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, baking powder, salt, and pepper to the mixture. Pulse a few times to blend the spices evenly.
Form the mixture into 4 to 5 small, slightly compact patties. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and lightly brush or drizzle with olive oil.
Bake the falafel patties in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even crisping, until they achieve a golden, crispy exterior.
While the falafel is baking, prepare the dressing by whisking together tahini, lemon juice, and a tablespoon of water to loosen the consistency. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Arrange the mixed greens on a serving plate. Once the falafel is done, place the patties atop the greens.
Serve the falafel with a generous drizzle of the creamy tahini dressing alongside a side of nonfat Greek yogurt to boost protein and add a tangy finish.
