Oil Free Baked Falafel
Calories: 245kcal
Falafel is a delicious traditional Middle Eastern food that is usually served with hummus and tahini sauce. These hearty, earthy fritters typically are fried in oil but we have adapted the recipe so that they are just as delicious baked. Our favorite way to eat them is tucked into a wrap stuffed with veggies and topped with our hummus and tahini sauce.
