Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Baked Falafel Bowls
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
