Turn the oven on to 220 °C on convection. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the veggies
Cut the eggplant and zucchini into 2 cm cubes. Toss them on the baking sheet with 1 tbsp of olive oil, half the cumin, the salt and the pepper.
Roast the veggies
Roast the veggies at 220 °C, stirring halfway through, until they're golden and tender.
Cook the bulgur
Bring 400 ml of salted water to a boil in the saucepan, pour in the 200 g of bulgur, cover and turn off the heat. Let it swell with the lid on, then fluff it with a fork.
Make the chickpea mix
Roughly mash the drained chickpeas in the mixing bowl. Add the crushed garlic, the rest of the cumin, salt and pepper, then mix until you get a paste that holds together.
Tip · With no flour or binder, the mix stays fragile. Mash it really fine and let it rest for 5 min so it holds together better.
Shape the falafel
With wet hands, shape 6 small flattened balls. Set them on the baking sheet with the veggies and drizzle them with the leftover olive oil.
Tip · Don't make big patties: small flattened balls hold up better. Put them on the sheet last so they don't break when you stir the veggies.
Bake the falafel
Bake the falafel for 12 min at 220 °C during the last 12 minutes of the veggies' roasting time. Flip them gently halfway through.
Season the yogurt
In the small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Build the bowls
Split the bulgur between two bowls, add the roasted veggies and the falafel. Top with a spoonful of yogurt.
And there you go, it's readyCheck off every step to celebrate.
