These baked falafel are everything you could want them to be: flavorful, crisp on the outside, creamy on the inside, and healthier since they're baked and not fried!

Baked Falafel | A Nerd Cooks

I've long been an admirer of Greek/Mediterranean food. But after grabbing lunch at a Mediterranean place while at a conference last week, I got to thinking: Making falafel can't be that hard, right?

Turns out, not hard at all.  The food processor does 90% of the work for you, and then the rest is just scooping and shaping the dough/batter/whatever into patties and sliding them into the oven.

Plus - these falafel are much better for you since they're baked and not deep fried, without sacrificing any flavor.

I like to eat these falafel on top of my Greek Power Bowl with homemade tzatziki sauce.

This recipe comes from the blog Willow Bird Baking.

    I love falafel, especially baked ones! These look really tasty. Perfect to stuff in a pitta bread with some salad and hummus 🙂

      I hear you, girl! I'm eating mine on top of a loaded Greek salad (coming later this week or next!) right now.
