Ingredients
Method
- Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a food processor, combine chickpeas, cilantro, parsley, garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and baking powder. Pulse until you get a coarse mixture.
- Shape this mixture into small balls or patties, making sure they're uniform in size.
- Brush each falafel with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until golden brown, flipping them halfway through.
- While the falafels bake, you can prepare the Tzatziki Sauce.
- In a bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, fresh dill, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
- Once your falafels are done baking, let them cool for a bit before assembling your bowl.
Notes
1. Don't over-process the falafel mixture. It should remain slightly chunky for a better texture.
2. Ensure the falafels are evenly spaced on the baking sheet so they cook uniformly.
3. For the Tzatziki Sauce, using Greek yogurt will yield a thicker, creamier texture, but feel free to use regular yogurt if that's what you have.
