Helloooooooooo healthier baked quinoa falafel bowls looking all fine drizzled with a orange tahini dressing. It is super nice to finally meet you. I have been meaning to make you for the longest time, but got (too easily) distracted by all the other foods on my rather long to test list. You were in rather good company on that list, and have uncomplainingly lived on my makeshift office, aka the top of the kitchen door, for a whole year. I finally realised that now was the perfect time to stop and make you. And look at that, you turned out perfectly the first time. Why, oh why did I wait so long? Have no fear, you are now my new best foodie friend and I will be seeing you next week. Oh and I think Air Fryer Falafels I will be seeing you soon too.
Peeps, I promise you, I said all that before I tucked into my baked quinoa and chickpea falafel bowls.
Vegan Falafels
I find myself cooking more and more vegan recipes like these baked vegan falafels. I find that vegan food is good, is easy to cook and is nutritious. And of course, you don’t have to be a vegan to eat vegan food – I eat probably one or two vegan meals a day, without thinking about it – and this is despite Freddy being an arch-carnivore.
How To Make Gluten Free Falafels
These gluten-free falafels are super easy to make. One of the main ingredients is Quinoa. First add the main ingredient aka chickpeas, garlic, onions and coriander into a food processor and whiz until the mixture is coarsely ground. Don’t be tempted to over process it. Then add the oil and pulse until the mixture is finely chopped but not mushy. Transfer your lovely mixture to a bowl and add in all the spices, salt, baking powder and ground almonds and mix well, adjust seasoning before refrigerating for 1 hour. Refrigerating makes it easier to shape these After the hour is up (ok 45 mins in my case as I can never wait that long), wet your hands and roll about 2 tbsp of the falafel into a small ball and transfer to the baking tray. Repeat with the rest of the mixture until all done. Try and makes sure all the quinoa falafels are the same size so they cook evenly. Spray them with some olive oil spray and bake till golden. You can serve these gluten free falafels straight up as is, in a salad bowl or in a wrap with lots of hummus and garlic sauce. But Peeps, I tell you it is sooooooo worth making this tahini salad dressing. It elevates these gluten free falafels to something rather special. Trust me, I am a foodie and I know these things.
