Easy, Peasy Baked Falafel
Go Greek!
Is falafel Greek? I don’t know. But I do know that falafel is delicious.
So this falafel.
It’s great because it’s pretty easy-ish to make and you can do so many things with it…wrap it in a piece of warm pita bread, throw it on top of a salad, serve it on top of a Mediterranean style burrito bowl…
Oh, I actually really like that Mediterranean burrito bowl idea. Perhaps i’d call it a pita bowl instead of a burrito bowl. May need to make that happen.
In my life, I used these falafels to create a way delicious sandwich. More on that another time. But let your cravings lead you to fabulous ways to eat these.
So my favorite part of these falafels is that the bottom and tops get crispy in the oven. And crispy is good with a food that can be a bit mushy.
Without further ado, go falafel your life.
