Veggie Falafel With Plant-Based Tzatziki

Who knew that falafel would be so easy. Not only that, you can sneak in so many other veggies to make this a nutrient dense delight! Garbanzos are growing on me more and more.

➜ 1 1/2 tsp Cumin

➜ 1 1/2 tsp Sea salt

➜ 1/2 Cracked pepper

➜ 1 tsp Coriander 

➜ 1 tsp Turmeric

➜ 1/2 tsp Paprika

HOW DO YOU DO IT:

➜ Preheat oven to 400° 

➜ place all ingredients in food processor, and pulse until incorporated but not totally smooth 

➜ Add 1 tablespoon of mix to a large cookie sheet line with parchment paper and repeat with the rest of mix

➜ Gently press each down so that it’s slightky flattened

➜ Place in 400° oven for 20 minutes then remove and flip the over and bake for an additional 15 minutes
