Chickpeas are one of my favorite foods. There’s so many things you can make with them: falafel, hummus, buddha bowls, etc.
These only take a few minutes to make. The best part is that you don’t need any frying oil.
Feta makes these falafels perfectly cheesy and filling, parsley makes them fresh-tasting and the lemon juice makes them burst with flavor.
Let me list the ways you can use these falafels:
In a pita pocket
On a salad
Crumble over pasta or quinoa
Just plain (They’re that good!)
Falafels have always been one of my favorite foods. It sure is hard to resist when you’re trying to eat healthy.
These falafels are:
Deliciously fresh-tasting
Perfectly lemony
Wonderfully filling
Unbelievably healthy
