Notes

Substitutions: If you’re looking for a twist, consider substituting the tahini with homemade avocado dressing for a creamier texture. Prepare your falafel mixture in advance and refrigerate for up to 24 hours to enhance the flavor before cooking. Avoid over-processing the chickpeas for the best results. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
