Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Add chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, garlic, red onion, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, flour, and olive oil to a food processor.
- Pulse the mixture until it becomes finely textured but still slightly chunky and easy to shape.
- Scoop the falafel mixture into small rounds and gently flatten them slightly with your hands.
- Arrange the falafel on the prepared baking tray with space between each piece for even browning.
- Bake until the edges turn golden brown and crisp, flipping halfway through for an even texture.
- While the falafel cooks, blend soaked cashews, water, lemon juice, garlic, dill, olive oil, and salt until completely smooth and creamy.
- Fold the grated cucumber into the blended cashew sauce and chill until ready to serve.
- Prepare the vegetables by chopping the lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, carrots, and red onion.
- Divide the cooked rice or quinoa between serving bowls as the hearty base.
- Layer the fresh vegetables around the bowl for colorful contrast and crunch.
- Add the warm crispy falafel directly over the grains and vegetables.
- Spoon generous amounts of creamy cashew tzatziki over the bowls before serving.
- Finish with fresh dill and an extra squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
