Instructions
Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush with olive oil.
Add chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, garlic, cumin, flour, and 1/2 tsp salt to a food processor. Pulse 10-12 times until combined but still slightly chunky (not a paste).
Tip: If the mixture is too wet, add another tablespoon of flour. It should hold together when pressed.
Form the mixture into 12 small patties. Place on the baking sheet and brush tops with olive oil. Bake for 25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
While falafel bake, cook the couscous according to package directions. Fluff with a fork.
Make the tahini sauce by whisking together tahini, lemon juice, water, and a pinch of salt until smooth and pourable.
Assemble bowls with couscous as the base, topped with falafel, hummus, tomato-cucumber salad, and a generous drizzle of tahini sauce.
