INGREDIENTS
1.5 cups cooked Chickpeas
1/4 cup chopped Red Onion
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1/4 cup chopped Fresh Parsley
1/4 cup chopped Fresh Cilantro
1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
1/4 tsp Baking Powder
Olive Oil Spray
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Shelled Edamame
1 tsp Tahini
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, lightly mash the cooked chickpeas with a fork, leaving some texture for the falafel mixture.
Stir in the chopped red onion, minced garlic, fresh parsley, and cilantro, followed by ground cumin, baking powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
Form the mixture into small patties (about 4-5 patties). Lightly spray them with olive oil and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through until they are golden and crispy on the outside.
Meanwhile, prepare the fresh greens by placing the spinach in a serving bowl and topping with shelled edamame.
For the dressing, whisk together tahini and lemon juice with a splash of water until smooth. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the crispy falafel over the greens, drizzled with the creamy tahini dressing, and enjoy warm.
