Finally a falafel recipe! A beetroot and chickpea falafels recipe. The perfect recipe when you’re looking for something, healthy, hearty, filling and also light.

If you are yet to try falafels, they are middle eastern street food and you are about to fall in love. Traditionally, they are fried and then wrapped in pitas with some fresh veggies and best enjoyed with some tahini sauce. The base of the falafel balls is made with chickpeas and tahini and fresh herbs but there are so many variations you can make like…beetroot and chickpea falafels!

This was my first attempt at making falafels at home after buying falafels from supermarkets for years. I’m excited to have started my falafel journey and I’m excited to get yours started with this yummy and very easy beetroot and chickpea falafel recipe.

This recipe is a good’un.
