# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly brush with olive oil.
02 - In a food processor, combine chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, paprika, cayenne, salt, pepper, baking powder, and flour. Pulse until a coarse, slightly sticky dough forms, scraping down sides as needed.
03 - Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and form into 8 small patties. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
04 - Brush patties lightly with olive oil. Bake for 12 minutes, then flip gently, brush again with olive oil, and bake an additional 10 to 13 minutes until golden and firm.
05 - Whisk together tahini, lemon juice, water, garlic, and salt in a bowl until smooth. Add more water if needed to achieve a creamy, pourable consistency.
06 - Lightly toast the slider buns if desired.
07 - Spread tahini sauce on the bottom bun, add a baked falafel patty, then top with cucumber, tomato, red onion, and mixed greens. Drizzle with extra tahini sauce and cover with the top bun.
08 - Serve the sliders immediately while warm.
