INGREDIENTS
1.5 cups Cooked Chickpeas (360g)
1/2 cup Fresh Parsley (15g)
1/2 cup Fresh Cilantro (8g)
1 Green Onion (25g)
2 Garlic Cloves (6g)
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Lemon Zest
2 tbsp Tahini (30g)
3.5 tbsp Low-Fat Greek Yogurt (50g)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
2 tbsp Water
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the cooked chickpeas, fresh parsley, fresh cilantro, green onion, garlic cloves, ground cumin, baking powder, and lemon zest. Pulse until the mixture is roughly chopped but still holds some texture.
Form the mixture into small patties or balls, about the size of a golf ball, and place them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the falafel are golden and crispy on the outside.
While the falafel is baking, prepare the creamy tahini dressing by whisking together tahini, low-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, and water in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency with additional water if needed.
Once the falafel are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before drizzling or serving alongside the tahini dressing.
Enjoy your crispy baked falafel as a hearty meal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
