Step 1
Pulse chickpeas with flour, cumin, 1 clove garlic, salt, and pepper until mixture holds together but is still crumbly, ~90 seconds.
Step 2
Heat 1 inch of neutral oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, ~3 minutes.
Step 3
Scoop 1-tbsp portions of falafel mixture and flatten into small patties. Fry in batches without crowding, 2 minutes per side until deep golden.
Step 4
Whisk tahini with lemon juice, 1 clove minced garlic, salt, pepper, and 2 tbsp water until creamy. Spread on a plate or shallow bowl.
Step 5
Arrange warm falafel over hummus. Drizzle with olive oil and scatter parsley on top.
Step 6
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
