Ingredients

Falafel

  • 1 can chickpeas
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 2 tbsp oat flour
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup parsley
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 cup spinach
  • 1/4 cup onion

Tahini Dressing

  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1 clove garlic
  • zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 tbsp water
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400F. In a food processor, mix all the falafel ingredients until fully combined--it's okay if it's still a little chunky. Chill mixture in a bowl, covered, for at least one hour.
  • 2. In a blender, on low speed, blend all the tahini dressing ingredients until smooth. You can add more water if you want this to be a dressing, or less if you want it to be a dipping sauce!
  • 3. Portion out chilled falafel mixture into small balls, about 2 tablespoons each. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet, and gently press the balls down to form disks. Bake the falafel at 400F for 20 minutes, flip and then bake for another 10-15 minutes.
  • 4. Add falafel to a buddha bowl of roasted vegetables, avocado, cooked quinoa and shredded kale, and top with tahini dressing!
