INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked chickpeas (164g)
1/4 medium red onion, chopped (40g)
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp olive oil spray
1 tbsp tahini
1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1 cup mixed greens
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the cooked chickpeas, chopped red onion, garlic, fresh parsley, ground cumin, ground coriander, and baking powder. Pulse until the mixture is coarse but holds together; avoid over-processing to maintain texture.
Scoop the mixture into small patties or balls, then place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly spray the falafel with olive oil to enhance crispiness during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the falafel is golden and crispy on the outside.
While the falafel bakes, prepare the creamy tahini sauce by mixing tahini with nonfat Greek yogurt in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt if desired.
Assemble the plate by laying a bed of mixed greens. Top with the warm baked falafel and drizzle the creamy tahini sauce over the top.
Serve immediately and enjoy the crisp textures and layered flavors of this nutritious meal.
