INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cooked Chickpeas (164g)
1/4 cup Chickpea Flour (30g)
1/2 cup Fresh Parsley (30g)
1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro (4g)
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Cumin Powder
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 tbsp Tahini (15g)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
3 oz Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Mixed Salad Greens (20g)
1/4 cup Cucumber slices (30g)
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes (75g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, combine the cooked chickpeas, chickpea flour, fresh parsley, cilantro, garlic, cumin, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Blitz until the mixture is roughly blended but still retains some texture.
Form the mixture into small patties or balls, about 5-6 pieces per serving. Place them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly spray or brush the falafel with a small amount of oil. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crisp and golden.
While the falafel bakes, prepare the creamy tahini sauce by mixing tahini with lemon juice and a splash of water until smooth. Adjust salt to taste.
In a small bowl, mix the nonfat Greek yogurt with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a little lemon zest to create a light, tangy dip.
Assemble a fresh herb salad by tossing mixed greens with cucumber slices and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle a tiny bit of lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
Plate the crispy falafel alongside the herb salad. Drizzle the tahini sauce over the falafel and serve the yogurt dip on the side for an extra protein boost.
