Instructions

Make pita chips: In a bowl, combine avocado oil and spices. Place the pita bread pieces in the bowl and shake to evenly coat them. Arrange on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake in the oven at 180°C for 10 minutes or until the chips are crispy brown.

Make the falafel: Add chickpeas, parsley, dill, mint, spices and chickpea flour into a food processor. Pulse until the mixture comes together, scraping down the sides. With the food processor still running, slowly add in avocado oil. Form tablespoons of the mixture into balls or fritters and arrange them on a baking tray lined with parchment. Bake at 180°C for 25 minutes.

Make tzatziki: Simply combine all the tzatziki ingredients until smooth. For a dressing-like texture, pulse all the ingredients in a blender.

Assemble the bowl with lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, pita chips, falafels and fresh greens. Serve right away with tzatziki on the side. Enjoy and follow for more recipes!
