Homemade falafel is one of my most favourite homemade Meatless Monday dishes. It is incredibly versatile – much like hummus, chickpeas are a fantastic base for a plethora of flavours. You can get creative with your herbs and spices, and the dipping options are endless! This particular recipe incorporates sweet potatoes, which not only provides a sweet balance to the spicy, smoky curry and paprika flavours, but also gives you an extra boost of vitamins B6, C and D. They’re also high in iron and magnesium – two minerals, that, among other things, can help boost our resistance to stress.
Another stress-busting plus to this recipe? Falafel are easy to make in big batches – freeze them, or have easy to transport leftovers for lunch the rest of the week! They’re delicious atop greens or rice, or can be tucked into a gluten-free wrap or pita. Don’t forget to dip!
The perfect falafel – crispy on the outside, smoky and smooth on the inside.
