Cook the falafel

In a food processor, mix together chickpeas, onion, garlic, cilantro, and parsley. Add remaining ingredients and pulse until well combined.

To shape, scoop a heaping tablespoon of the falafel mixture and form uniform-sized balls or flattened patties.

Optional: Arrange on a plate or parchment-paper lined baking sheet and let firm up in the fridge for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 400F. Bake for 20 minutes, flip, return to oven and let continue baking for 15 minutes, until firm, brown, and crispy.

Enjoy in a pita bread wrap, salad, or as is with hummus and tahini!

Assemble the pita

Heat up the falafels, prep the veggies, and assemble the sauces like hummus, vegan tzatziki, and tahini.

When ready to assemble pita sandwiches, warm the pita bread on the stovetop over medium-high heat, heating each pita for 30-60 seconds on each side.

Place 3 falafels in each warmed pita, add desired vegetables, then drizzle with sauces.
