Falafel Waffle

Recipe Description

This Falafel Waffle recipe is like my healthy fast food! I love falafel, but I always mess it up when I make traditional falafel at home. Not this falafel waffle recipe though – it is quick, easy and foolproof. You don’t need any hot oil too which means less mess and less chance of burning yourself!

To make this falafel waffle, start by mixing all the waffle ingredients in a food processor. Heat a waffle iron and grease with cooking spray. Place the falafel mixture in the hot waffle iron and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and set. Repeat with the remaining mixture. Serve these waffles with some of your favorite toppings like cherry tomatoes, cucumber, labneh or yogurt, pickles and hard-boiled eggs.

To make Falafel Waffle, you will need the following ingredients:
