INGREDIENTS
1.5 cups canned chickpeas (drained)
0.25 cup chopped red onion
2 cloves garlic
0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley
0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chickpea flour
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon tahini
1/3 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray with olive oil if desired.
In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, chopped red onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, chickpea flour, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely blended without becoming a paste.
Form the mixture into uniform patties or small balls, about 4-5 pieces depending on desired size.
Place the falafel patties onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the outsides are crisp and golden.
While the falafel is baking, prepare the sauce by whisking together tahini, nonfat Greek yogurt, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Adjust consistency with a little water if necessary.
Once baked, remove the falafel from the oven and serve warm with a generous drizzle of the creamy tahini-yogurt sauce.
