- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp coriander
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cucumber, grated
- 1 cup plain yogurt (for tzatziki)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Blend chickpeas, garlic, onion, parsley, cumin, coriander, and olive oil in a food processor until smooth.
- Form into small patties and bake for 20-25 minutes.
- For tzatziki, mix grated cucumber, yogurt, and lemon juice. Serve with baked falafel.
Falafel is a fun and healthy dish, full of nutrition and flavor. This version is baked instead of fried, so it is lower in fat and easier to tolerate for those with digestive issues. The tzatziki dip has a light ginger and lemon flavor, both of which can be helpful for nausea.
Packed with Micronutrients
Falafel contains vitamins and minerals like folate, iron, magnesium, and phosphorus. These nutrients support various bodily functions, including bone health and energy production.
