INGREDIENTS
1.5 cups Chickpeas (drained)
1/4 cup chopped Red Onion
2 Garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup chopped Fresh Parsley
1/4 cup chopped Fresh Cilantro
1/2 teaspoon Ground Cumin
1/2 teaspoon Ground Coriander
1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder
2 sprays Olive Oil
2/3 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 tablespoon Tahini
1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
1 cup Mixed Greens
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, red onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, and baking powder. Pulse until the mixture is roughly blended but still retains some texture.
Shape the mixture into 3-4 small patties. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray the tops with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until the falafel are crispy and golden on the outside.
While the falafel bakes, prepare the creamy tahini yogurt sauce by whisking together nonfat Greek yogurt, tahini, and lemon juice. Adjust consistency with a splash of water if needed, and season with a pinch of salt.
Plate the baked falafel over a bed of mixed greens and drizzle generously with the tahini yogurt sauce.
Serve warm and enjoy the delicious blend of crisp falafel, tangy sauce, and fresh greens.
