- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls or patties. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush them with olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the falafel is golden brown and crispy.
While the falafel is baking, make the lemon-dill yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
To serve, warm the pita bread in the oven or on a grill. Cut the bread in half and stuff it with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, and the green pea falafel. Drizzle the lemon-dill yogurt sauce over the top and enjoy!
