Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz chickpeas, drained and rinsed)
  • 1 small onion (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for better texture)
  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup water (more if needed)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
  2. Step 2: In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper.
  3. Step 3: Pulse until the mixture is well-blended but still chunky, scraping down the sides as needed. Avoid over-blending; the mixture should not be too smooth.
  4. Step 4: Add the lemon juice, olive oil, and baking powder to the mixture. If the mixture is too wet, you can add breadcrumbs gradually to help bind it.
  5. Step 5: Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls or patties, about 1-2 inches in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure both sides are golden and crispy. For extra crispiness, you can lightly spray or brush the falafel with olive oil before baking.
  7. Step 7: While the falafel is baking, whisk together the tahini, water, lemon juice, garlic, and salt in a bowl. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if necessary. The sauce should be smooth and pourable.
  8. Step 8: Serve the falafel hot with the creamy tahini sauce on the side. You can enjoy it in pita bread, on a salad, or as part of a falafel platter with your favorite sides.
