Step 1
Heat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Pulse chickpeas, parsley, garlic, cumin, and flour in a food processor until crumbly, ~20 pulses. Mixture should hold together when squeezed.
Step 3
Scoop 2-tbsp portions onto the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then bake until golden and crispy, 18–20 minutes.
Step 4
While falafel bakes, whisk tahini, lemon juice, and water until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5
Divide greens between two bowls. Top with cucumber slices and tomato halves.
Step 6
Arrange warm falafel on each bowl. Drizzle tahini sauce over the top and serve immediately.
