This baked falafel dish is a lighter version of traditional fried falafel, yet it’s still packed with flavor. Falafel is made from a base of chickpeas, which are a great source of plant-based protein. A delicious meal idea for Meatless Monday! Falafel tastes great served with a whole grain pita bread or topped on a salad with hummus or baba ganoush. Add cucumber, tomatoes, and cilantro for a light and refreshing taste.
