Description

Experience the deliciousness of baked falafel crumbles in salads, wraps, and snacks, offering a healthy and vegan twist to your meals.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Dried Chickpeas (soaked overnight)
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda (for soaking)
  • 2 teaspoons Baharat (or substitute spices)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (for coating)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt (to taste)
  • 2 cups Fresh Greens (romaine hearts or spinach)
  • 1 cup Diced Veggies (tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes)
  • 1/2 cup Tahini Sauce (optional drizzle)

Instructions

  1. Soak Chickpeas: The night before, place dried chickpeas in a bowl and cover with water. Add baking soda to help soften them overnight for a perfect texture.
  2. Blend Ingredients: The next day, drain and rinse the soaked chickpeas. Blend them together with the spices until you have a cohesive mixture. This should resemble a thick paste.
  3. Prep Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a sheet pan generously with olive oil to help achieve a crispy finish on your falafel crumbles.
  4. Spread Mixture: Transfer the chickpea mixture to the prepared sheet pan. Spread it evenly, pressing down gently to maintain an even thickness for consistent baking.
  5. Bake Crumbles: Bake in the oven for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Flip the mixture halfway through to create a delightful mix of crunchy and soft textures.
  6. Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow your falafel crumbles to cool slightly. Serve them warm on top of salads or within wraps for a delicious meal.
