Cooking Steps

  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine all of the Tzatziki ingredients together. Let chill for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add all the ingredients in a food processor, and season to taste. Pulse until just combined.

  3. 3

    If the batter feels too wet/sticky, add more flour. Using a spoon, scoop about 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture and form into a ball, and place it on the lined baking sheet. (You can also flatten it into a disc.) Repeat with the remaining dough.

  4. 4

    Bake for about 35-40 minutes until crispy on the outside. Allow falafel to cool before removing from tray. Serve warm as an appetizer or a main course. If preferred, drizzle with tzatziki (cucumber yogurt sauce).
