1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground paprika
6 whole wheat pitas

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place falafel on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, 8 to 10 minutes.
While falafel bake, whisk tahini, water, lemon juice, garlic, and paprika together in a bowl.
