Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425° and brush a baking sheet with about 2 teaspoons olive oil.
- Make falafel: Add all falafel ingredients to a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground, scraping down sides of bowl with a spatula and reprocessing as needed to make sure everything is combined. Don't overprocess-you are looking for a bit of texture.
- Use your hands, form mixture into 16 heaping tablespoon-sized balls and place on baking sheet.
- Roast vegetables: On a separate baking sheet, toss peppers and onions with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Bake falafel and vegetables for 10 minutes, then remove from oven. Use a spatula to flip each falafel, and stir peppers. Return to oven until falafel are golden on both sides and peppers and onions are tender, 10 to 15 minutes more. Let falafel cool at least 5 minutes before removing from baking sheet.
- Meanwhile, make tahini sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together all tahini sauce ingredients and season to taste with salt.
- Make roasted pepper salad: Add cilantro, pickles, and lemon juice to baking sheet with roasted vegetables and toss to combine.
- Build sandwiches: To serve: Cut off the top ⅕ of each pita and spread a thin layer of tahini sauce on the inside of each. Divide salad and falafel evenly between sandwiches.

From weight watchers website. This is yummy. Not your traditional falafel, but fantastic for not being deep fried and much healthier this way. Note: If your chick pea mixture is too dry to form nice patties (which seems to happen with some of the canned chick pea brands) then just add some liquid to them to help them bind together, such as tahini, lemon juice, oil or water.
