Baked Falafel with Tahini Sauce

1

Preheat the oven to 375℉. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2

To a food processor, add the chickpeas, onion, garlic, tahini, salt, cumin, coriander, baking soda, cilantro and parsley. Pulse until all ingredients are incorporated and smooth.

3

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the spelt flour and spelt bread crumbs. Stir the mixture until just combined.

4

Use a 1-inch cookie scoop or tablespoon and scoop out the falafel mixture, roll into a ball and place on the baking tray. Repeat until all of the mixture is used.

5

Use a pastry brush to brush the avocado oil on the falafel. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.

6

Meanwhile, mix the lemon juice, water and the remaining salt together to make a tahini sauce.

7

Serve the falafel with the tahini sauce and pickled turnip. Enjoy!
