Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, parsley, mint, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Process until the mixture is well combined and slightly chunky.
2
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small patties. Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and gently roll them to coat evenly.
3
Bake the falafel for 20-25 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown. While the falafel is baking, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a bowl, whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
4
Grate the cucumber using a box grater or a food processor with the shredding attachment. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the grated cucumber using a cheesecloth or a fine-mesh sieve.
5
Add the grated cucumber to the bowl with the yogurt mixture and stir to combine. Refrigerate the tzatziki sauce for at least 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
6
To assemble the Mediterranean Falafel Bowl, place a few falafel patties on a plate or bowl. Top with a dollop of tzatziki sauce, a sprinkle of parsley, and a side of tabbouleh salad (made by combining chopped parsley, mint, and lemon juice). Serve immediately and enjoy!
