Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking sheet
Two 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves
1/2 cup tahini
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
4 cloves garlic
1 large egg
1/2 cup chickpea flour
Zest and juice of 1 Meyer lemon
Flaky sea salt
2 cucumbers, roughly chopped
1 cup chopped fresh mint
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the falafel: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
  • Add the chickpeas to a food processor along with the cilantro, parsley, tahini, sesame seeds, chili powder, coriander, cumin, garlic and egg. Process until a paste is formed. Place in a bowl and add the chickpea flour, a little at a time, mixing just to incorporate. Mix in the lemon zest and juice. Using a small cookie scoop, form balls and evenly space on the baking sheet. Lightly press the falafel balls, then sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Bake until crispy, around 20 minutes.
  • For the raita yogurt sauce: Pulse the cucumbers, mint and garlic in a food processor a few times, then add the yogurt and puree. Season to taste with salt.
  • Serve the falafel garnished with a dollop of raita.
