INGREDIENTS
1.25 cup Cooked Chickpeas (205g)
0.25 cup Fresh Parsley (chopped, 15g)
1 Garlic Clove
0.5 tsp Ground Cumin
0.5 tsp Ground Coriander
2 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour (15g)
2 cups Mixed Greens (100g)
0.5 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (113g)
1 tbsp Tahini (15g)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Olive Oil Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with olive oil cooking spray.
In a food processor, combine the cooked chickpeas, chopped fresh parsley, garlic clove, ground cumin, ground coriander, and whole wheat flour. Pulse until the mixture reaches a coarse, slightly chunky texture; avoid over-processing to maintain some texture.
Scoop the mixture into 3-4 patties or small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten them slightly to form patties.
Spray the tops lightly with olive oil cooking spray for added crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even browning and crispiness.
While the falafel bakes, prepare the creamy sauce by whisking together the nonfat Greek yogurt, tahini, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
On a serving plate, arrange the mixed greens as the base. Once baked, place the crispy falafel on top of the greens and drizzle generously with the creamy tahini sauce.
Finish with an extra sprinkle of freshly ground pepper or a few more herbs if desired, and serve immediately.
