Simple, quick & versatile. These green falafels are perfect for entertaining or for a nutritious lunch. Being baked, these little bites are a super healthy option/alternative to store-bought fried falafels and they taste just as delicious! We recommend leaving out the chilli if you want to serve these tasty snacks to little bellies! They’re sure to be something the whole family will enjoy.
