PREPARATION

  • 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • 2

    In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, red onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, ground cumin, ground coriander, and baking soda. Pulse until the mixture is coarse but holds together.

  • 3

    Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties or balls, about the size of a golf ball, and place them evenly on the baking sheet.

  • 4

    Lightly spray or brush the falafel with a small amount of oil to help crisp them up, then bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.

  • 5

    While the falafel bakes, prepare the creamy tahini dressing by whisking together the tahini and fresh lemon juice, adding water a teaspoon at a time to achieve a smooth, drizzly consistency.

  • 6

    For an extra boost of creaminess and protein, gently fold the plain nonfat Greek yogurt into the dressing.

  • 7

    Prepare the fresh herb salad by combining cucumber slices, tomato slices, fresh mint, and additional parsley if desired in a bowl.

  • 8

    Plate the crispy falafel, drizzle generously with the creamy tahini dressing, and serve alongside the refreshing herb salad. Enjoy your nutrient-packed, flavorful meal!
