Instructions
- Add the chickpeas, garlic, onion, cilantro, parsley, cumin, and salt to a food processor or high-speed blender and pulse until well combined.
- Add the cassava flour and pulse again until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and place covered in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- While the falafel mixture is chilling, make the tahini sauce by adding the ingredients to a food processor or high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Set aside.
- Next, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Take the falafel mixture out of the refrigerator and roll into bite-sized rounds and place on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes - flipping the falafel balls over halfway through.
- Serve with your tortilla wrap or pita of choice and drizzle with the tahini sauce. Serve with optional toppings.
