Falafel is one of my favorites – but fried falafel can leave me feeling crummy afterwards. However this spin on an old favorite uses a combination of fresh ingredients and is a really good source of fuel. It serves up great for lunch, dinner, or even as a post-workout recovery meal. These baked falafel are super versatile – I like to bake these up for the week and then add them to roasted kale with tahini and lemon! The raw batter alone can serve as a great dip for veggies, pita, etc! Enjoy!!!
