About Pumpkin falafel

Pumpkin falafel is a delightful twist on the traditional Middle Eastern falafel, blending chickpeas with roasted pumpkin for a flavorful and nutrient-packed alternative. Key ingredients include chickpeas, pumpkin, garlic, fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro, and a mix of warm spices such as cumin and coriander. This dish is naturally plant-based, high in fiber, and rich in vitamins A and C from the pumpkin, which support skin health and immunity. Chickpeas provide plant protein, while the aromatic spices contribute antioxidants. Typically baked or fried, baked versions offer a lower-fat option, making it a heart-healthy choice. While traditionally served in pita bread or atop salads, pumpkin falafel also pairs well with tahini or yogurt-based sauces for added flavor. Whether you’re exploring plant-based eating or looking for a nutrient-dense meal, pumpkin falafel offers a fusion of taste, texture, and wholesome ingredients.
