Falafel is amazing, but it can take so much time to make if you want to make! Many recipes will encourage using dried garbanzo beans (chickpeas), but today we are going to take a shortcut with quick and easy canned chickpeas.
The other magical thing about this whole food plant-based recipe is that it’s oil free. That's right - these falafel bites are NOT deep fried and yet they're still so simple, healthy, and delicious. Although this recipe makes for a unique appetizer, my favorite way to eat falafel bites is over a salad with tahini dressing and diced cucumber and tomato. Enjoy!
