Step-by-Step Instructions for Baked Falafel Bowls
- In a food processor, combine drained chickpeas, fresh parsley, garlic cloves, lemon juice, sea salt, cumin, and almond meal. Pulse until well-blended but slightly coarse, about 30 seconds.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Shape the falafel mixture into balls the size of golf balls and place them on the baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
- While the falafel is baking, whisk together tahini, additional garlic, lemon juice, water, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Adjust water for desired consistency.
- Cook quinoa according to package instructions, about 15 minutes. Chop sweet potato and cauliflower into bite-sized pieces, toss with olive oil and seasonings, and roast in the oven alongside the falafel.
- To assemble, start with quinoa as a base. Top with roasted sweet potatoes and cauliflower, add falafel balls, and drizzle with tahini dressing. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.

Notes
For best results, store components separately and assemble just before serving. Reheat falafel in the oven to maintain crispiness.
