About Falafel meatballs

Falafel meatballs are a flavorful, plant-based twist on the classic Middle Eastern falafel. Made primarily from chickpeas, these bite-sized delights are combined with fresh herbs like parsley and cilantro, garlic, onion, and warm spices such as cumin and coriander. Rolled into small balls and either baked, fried, or air-fried, they offer a satisfying crunch on the outside and a tender, hearty interior. Rich in fiber, protein, and key vitamins like folate and iron, falafel meatballs are a nutritious option for vegetarians and vegans, promoting heart health and improved digestion. They are often gluten-free when made with chickpea flour, but some versions might include breadcrumbs, so ingredient checks are recommended. While traditionally fried, opting for baked or air-fried methods can lower fat content for a healthier version. Perfect in wraps, salads, or dipped in tahini sauce, falafel meatballs are a versatile, nutritious choice with roots in Middle Eastern cuisine.
