This easy baked vegan potato falafel recipe is quick and flavourful and comes with a creamy yoghurt dressing that you will want to drown all your meals in!
Rinse and dice the potatoes.
Put them in boiling water until cooked.
Drain the potatoes and mash them with a masher. Set aside for a moment.
Peel the shallot and chop finely.
Place the chickpeas, tahini paste, shallot, ½ of the garlic, cumin powder, coriander, chickpea flour, salt, and pepper in a blender. Mix until everything is finely chopped, and the falafel mixture starts to come together.
Remove from the blender, taste, and adjust the seasoning if needed, then knead with your hands until well combined. Shape into 12-16 falafel balls. About the size of a ping pong or just a bit smaller.
Mix the sesame seeds with 100 g of flour and roll the falafels in the mixture. Place on a baking tray. Repeat until all the balls are covered in sesame seeds. Drizzle them with olive oil and place in the oven for 20 minutes, until golden brown. Turn around halfway through.
Mix the yoghurt with the Greek spices, chopped coriander, lime zest and juice and the other half of the garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
Grate the beetroot.
Serve the falafel with rocket and grated beetroot and drizzle with the yoghurt dressing.
