falafel waffles

Falafel waffles! All that crispiness, without deep frying. Ready in just 20 minutes with simple pantry ingredients. An easy vegan and gluten-free recipe.

Falafel Waffles

(40 grams) oats

chickpeas

½ a red onion

garlic

parsley (roughly chopped)

fresh cilantro / coriander (roughly chopped)

tbsp tahini

tbsp olive oil (plus extra for wafflemaker)

lemon juice

tsp cumin

cayenne

salt and pepper

Tahini

Hummus

Salad

Whiz the oats first in a food processor until fine.

Add remaining ingredients and pulse until it forms a ball, scraping down the sides if necessary. Don&#039;t overmix as a bit of texture is nice in the finished falafel waffles.

Heat the waffle iron and brush or spray with a small amount of oil.

Spoon the falafel mixture into the grids, close and cook for 4 minutes or as directed on your machine.

Remove and serve topped with tahini and hummus.

Falafel waffles! All that crispiness, without deep frying. Waffling your falafel mixture creates soft, flavoursome, Middle Eastern dish that turns falafels into the star of the meal. Make the vegan and gluten-free recipe in just 20 minutes.

These chickpea-based waffles taste like a lighter version of falafel and get beautifully crispy on the outside but stay tender on the inside. The batter incorporates riced broccoli, plenty of fresh herbs, and hearty couscous so every bite is balanced with nourishing, plant-based goodness. A fresh tomato salad featuring crisp cucumbers and zesty red onion rounds out the Mediterranean flavor profile. Drizzle everything with a simple tahini sauce, and you have a winning dinner that comes together in just 30 minutes.

Tip: Keep waffles warm in a 250°F oven while you assemble the tomato salad.

recipe Tahini Sauce

I make these falafel waffles all the time because they're low in fat, ready in just 7 minutes with only 10 ingredients, and so delicious!

dried chickpeas (soaked overnight)

cilantro

spinach

cumin powder

tsp sea salt

Black pepper

chickpea flour

Yogurt sauce (optional)

Soak the chickpeas in water overnight.

Add chickpeas to a food processor or blender and blend for a few seconds.

Incorporate the rest of the ingredients (except the flour) and mix to combine. Don’t overblend, you want a chunky texture.

Add the flour and pulse just until it’s mixed with the rest of the ingredients.

Place the mixture in a bowl, cover, and let stand in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

Preheat the waffle maker. Once the waffle maker is ready, you can generously coat with non-stick spray or some oil (extra virgin olive oil and coconut oil are my favorite ones). We don’t do this, but it’s up to you.

Make balls with your hands and place them in the waffle maker. I placed two every time.

Cook according to manufacturer’s instructions. My falafel waffles were ready in 7 minutes.

Serve with some yogurt sauce or tahini dressing on top.
