Ingredients

• 1 cup Cauliflower florets
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 0.5 cup Chopped fresh parsley
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cup Avocado oil
• 2 cups Romaine lettuce
• 0.5 cup Cucumber
• 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 0.25 cup Red onion
• 0.25 cup Tahini dressing
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they resemble rice granules.

Step 3

Transfer the cauliflower rice to a mixing bowl and add almond flour, ground flaxseed, chopped parsley, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper.

Step 4

Crack the egg into the mixture and combine thoroughly until it forms a cohesive dough.

Step 5

Using your hands, form small balls (about 1.5 inches in diameter) from the mixture and flatten them slightly to create falafel patties.

Step 6

Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the falafel patties and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 7

Transfer the falafel patties to the prepared baking sheet, place in the oven, and bake for 10 minutes to ensure they are cooked through.

Step 8

While the falafel is baking, prepare the bowl by chopping the romaine lettuce and evenly dividing it among the serving bowls.

Step 9

Dice the cucumber and halve the cherry tomatoes, then thinly slice the red onion.

Step 10

Arrange the cucumbers, tomatoes, and onion over the lettuce, creating a colorful base for your bowls.

Step 11

Once the falafel patties are done baking, allow them to cool for a few minutes before placing them atop the salad mixture in each bowl.

Step 12

Drizzle each bowl with tahini dressing before serving and garnish with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
