INGREDIENTS
1 cup Canned Chickpeas (164g)
1/4 cup Chickpea Flour (30g)
1/4 cup Fresh Parsley, chopped (15g)
1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro, chopped (15g)
2 cloves Garlic (6g)
1 tsp Ground Cumin (2g)
1/2 tsp Salt (3g)
1/4 tsp Baking Powder (1g)
1 tbsp Tahini Paste (15g)
1/3 cup Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt (80g)
1 serving Mixed Greens (Lettuce, Tomato, Cucumber, ~172g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, fresh parsley, cilantro, garlic, cumin, salt, and baking powder. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely blended, ensuring it still retains some texture.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the chickpea flour. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more flour until a firm, moldable consistency is achieved.
Shape the mixture into small patties or balls (about 6-8 pieces) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly spray the falafel with olive oil (optional) and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the falafel are golden and crispy on the edges.
While the falafel bakes, prepare the creamy sauce by mixing tahini paste and nonfat Greek yogurt in a small bowl. Stir until well combined; if desired, add a splash of water to achieve your preferred consistency.
Assemble your plate by placing a generous serving of mixed greens. Top with the warm falafel and drizzle the creamy tahini sauce over them.
Serve immediately and enjoy the blend of crispy textures and fresh, vibrant flavors.
