Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush with olive oil.

2

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.

3

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.

4

While falafel bake, cook the couscous according to package directions. Fluff with a fork.

5

Make the tahini sauce by whisking together tahini, lemon juice, water, and a pinch of salt until smooth and pourable.

6

Assemble bowls with couscous as the base, topped with falafel, hummus, tomato-cucumber salad, and a generous drizzle of tahini sauce.
