Why I Love These Protein-Packed Baked Falafel


My protein packed baked falafel will fill you up without the bloat! When I am watching what I eat, I look for foods that will fill me up without weighing me down. These falafel do just that! I can eat about 10 of these along with a little rice and that's a great meal for me!

It's A Better For You Falafel


As you read the ingredients, you may be wondering "Where is the flavor". Although I may not include salt, spices, or fry, I promise they pack a punch of flavor!


My falafel recipe keeps calories low while being healthful and filling. I swapped pan frying or deep frying falafel for oven-baked - and you still get some brown! By adding the plant protein, you get 1 gram of protein in each falafel!


You'll also notice these falafel don't have that classic green color. If you want the classic green color, you can add dill, parsley & cilantro. Alternatively, you can top it with a sauce for a pop of color.

Serving Protein Packed Baked Falafel


For me, there are 3 ways to serve falafel. I enjoy each way at different times - it all depends on my diet at the moment.


Way # 1 to eat falafel - wrap it up! Place falafel in a pita, add a sauce, top with greens, tomato & onion.


Falafel bowl - I like to use cooked ready rice (hello time savings!) on the bottom, then I place my falafel, sauce, and any other toppings I'd like - I prefer herbs and tomatoes on top of my bowl.


Straight-up falafel - don't have pita or rice? No problem! Serve your falafel with hummus, baby carrots & bite-sized bell pepper.
