This crispy herbed falafel pita sandwich is packed with fresh greens and savory spices, ready to serve in just 35 minutes. Perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, these golden chickpea patties are soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Drizzle generously with the homemade lemony tahini sauce for the ultimate vegetarian meal.
Place the drained chickpeas, fresh herbs, onion, garlic, cumin, and coriander into a food processor.
Pulse the mixture several times until it forms a coarse meal that sticks together, being careful not to puree it completely.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl, stir in the flour and baking powder, and form into 12 small, slightly flattened patties.
Heat approximately 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Fry the falafel patties in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until they are deep golden brown and crispy.
While the falafel cooks, whisk the tahini paste, lemon juice, and 2-3 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl until creamy and smooth.
Transfer the cooked falafel to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Warm the pita breads slightly in a toaster or oven, then slice them open to create pockets.
Stuff each pita with 3 falafel patties and top with sliced cucumbers and tomatoes.
Finish by drizzling the creamy tahini sauce over the filling and serve immediately.
