INGREDIENTS
1 cup canned chickpeas (164g)
1 medium whole egg
2 egg whites
1/4 medium onion
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander
Salt and pepper to taste
1 oz crumbled feta cheese
1 tbsp tahini
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp water
Pinch garlic powder
1 cup mixed greens
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the canned chickpeas, whole egg, egg whites, chopped onion, garlic, fresh parsley, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until the mixture is chunky but holds together.
Form the mixture into 3-4 patties and place them on the prepared baking tray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the falafel patties are golden and crispy, turning them halfway through for even baking.
While the falafel is baking, prepare the tahini sauce by stirring together tahini, lemon juice, water, a pinch of garlic powder, and a small pinch of salt until smooth.
Assemble your plate by placing the baked falafel on a bed of mixed greens and drizzle with the creamy tahini sauce. Top with crumbled feta cheese for an extra burst of flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your delightful, nutrient-packed meal.
