Ingredients

Servings

For the Falafel

  • 1 large sweet potato
  • 1 c chickpeas cooked from dry or drained if canned
  • ½ onion diced
  • 1 garlic minced, or 1/4 tsp garlic powder, clove
  • ¾ tsp cumin
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • Pinch cardamom

For the Tahini Cabbage Slaw

  • 2 c cabbage shredded
  • ½ onion sliced
  • ½ green bell pepper sliced and chopped into 1” pieces
  • ½ carrot shredded
  • 2 Tbsp tahini
  • 1 Tbsp water
  • 1 garlic minced, clove
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp parsley
  • 1/8 tsp ground white pepper

Instructions

For the Falafel

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Prick potato all over with a fork and place on the rack in preheated oven. Bake potato for 1 hour, or until potato is very soft. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  2. Increase oven temperature to 400F.
  3. Chop, unpeeled, Sweet Potato into 2” sections. Place Sweet Potato and remaining falafel ingredients into the bowl of your food processor.
  4. Process until the consistency of thick mashed potatoes. (A few chunks is ok.)
  5. Shape dough into 8 round patties, roughly 3” in diameter by ¼ “ thick. (Keep your hands as clean of the dough as possible, the patties are easier to shape if you work with hands that are not sticky.)
  6. Place patties on a lightly greased baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 40 minutes, flipping halfway through. Patties are done when they are firm and golden.

For the Slaw

  1. While the falafel is baking, make the tahini slaw.
  2. Combine slices of cabbage, onion, green pepper, and carrot in a medium bowl.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together Tahini paste, water, garlic, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, parsley, and white pepper. Whisk until combined and pour over slaw veggies.
  4. Sir slaw until veggies are evenly coated and refrigerate until serving.
