How to cook it
-
Drain the soaked chickpeas thoroughly and pat them dry, since canned chickpeas are too wet to hold together.
-
Heat the oven to 400F and brush a baking sheet with olive oil.
-
Pulse the chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, baking powder, and salt in a food processor until finely ground but not pureed.
-
Shape the mixture into 16 small patties, set them on the sheet, and brush the tops with olive oil.
-
Bake, flipping once, until deeply golden and crisp, about 25 minutes.
-
Whisk the tahini, lemon juice, and enough water to make a pourable sauce.
-
Serve the baked falafel over the salad greens with the tahini sauce.
