  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 2 cloves of garlic

For the Tzatziki

  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 390 degrees Farenheit
  •  In a food processor combine all of the ingredients for the falafels and blend until smooth, scraping down the sides of the processor to ensure everything is blended.
  • Using a spoon, form the batter into 12 patties and place on a greased baking sheet.
  • Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, flipping the patties half way through cooking.
  • To make the tzatziki, use a cheese grater to grate the cucumber. Place the grated cucumber in between a few sheets of paper towel and gently squeeze to get the excess liquid out.
