Recipe Description
Falafel, a beloved Middle Eastern dish, is transformed into a healthy baked version that retains all the delicious flavors without the added oil from frying. Packed with protein-rich chickpeas, aromatic spices, and fresh herbs, these falafels are crispy on the outside yet soft and moist on the inside. Perfectly paired with a creamy, tangy tahini sauce, this dish is not only satisfying but also nutritious, making it suitable for everyday meals or special gatherings. Serve with warm pita, salads, or as a standalone snack.
Ingredients
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Salt to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, baking powder, and salt. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely blended, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls or patties and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Brush or spray the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crisp, turning halfway through.
- While the falafel is baking, prepare the tahini sauce. In a small bowl, combine the tahini, lemon juice, water, minced garlic, and salt; whisk until smooth.
