  • 2 cloves Garlic (Minced)
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cumin

  6. While the falafel is baking, prepare the tahini dressing by whisking together tahini, lemon juice, water, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  7. To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked quinoa or rice into bowls, top with fresh vegetables, and add the baked falafel.
  8. Drizzle with tahini dressing before serving.
