The Hungry Swimmer: Baked Falafel Bites
From the SwimSwam website...
By Sophia Vale
Falafel, if you’re unfamiliar with it, is a popular Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dish made of chickpeas and/or fava beans and tons of fresh herbs. Balls or sometimes patties of the ground beans and herbs are traditionally deep fried and served on pita bread as a sandwich or as part of a mezze platter (think “Mediterranean charcuterie board”). Because falafel is made primarily out of protein-rich chickpeas (in the case of this recipe), it is a popular substitute for meat in vegan and vegetarian dishes.
