Falafel Sliders Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Soak the chickpeas in the water for at least one night, ensuring that the chickpeas are fully submerged.
• Drain the chickpeas in a colander. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and add the chickpeas. Cover with more paper towels and let dry for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350°F (180 °C).
• Add the dried chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, coriander, mint, 5 cloves of garlic, onion, paprika, 2 teaspoons of cumin, ground coriander, baking soda, toasted sesame seeds, salt and pepper, in a blender and blend until smooth.
• Use your hands to form falafel the size of a ping pong ball.
• Place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
• Brush the falafel with olive oil.
• Bake for about 25-30 minutes.
• To prepare the tzatziki, cut a cucumber in fourths and remove the seeds.
• Use a box grater to grate the cucumber into a bowl.
• Salt the grated cucumber and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Place the salted cucumber into a sieve and press down with a spatula to remove excess liquid.
• Mix the grated cucumber with Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of mint, the minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
• Serve the falafel with the tzatziki.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• To the bowl of a 2-quart (2 liter) food processor, add the chickpeas, onion, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, and spices. Pulse the ingredients together until just incorporated and they form a wet paste. Be careful not to overblend.
• Transfer the chickpea mixture to a large bowl and add the bread crumbs, mixing until just incorporated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or overnight.
• Remove the chilled falafel mixture from the refrigerator and shape into 1-inch balls. The mixture should yield 18-20 balls.
• In a large frying pan with high sides, heat about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of oil to 350˚F (180˚C). Fry the falafel balls in batches of 6 for 3 minutes, flipping halfway. Once they are golden brown and crispy, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt.
• Serve the falafel as desired, either as a sandwich, salad topping, or over a bed of greens with a side of tahini sauce.
