Browned and Baked Falafel

Browned and Baked Falafel is a wonderful recipe! So full of amazing nutrition and deliciousness. Falafel are often deep fried or at least in a lot of oil in your frying pan. These are quickly browned in a bit of oil and then baked so you get the crispy outside and the soft amazing inside. These can be served in a pita with a load of other things - hummus, tzatziki, greens/spinach, cooked or pickled beets, caramelized or oven roasted onions, and tahini as in the photo – or on a bed or rice with a salad on the side. When in a pita, it can get a bit messy as you devour this goodness, but aren’t the best things in life a little messy? Eat these with wild abandon!
