okay, the falafel is in the bowl in the back.
from left to right, back to front:
lettuce, falafel tziziki, hot sauce, pepperoncini, kalamata olives, shredded carrot, feta & cilantro / roasted poblano hummus.
everything was home made from scratch except the pita, which i normally make but was out of wheat flour and time.

MMMMMMMMM Falafel My last fried food hold-out.. I tried baking it but it's just not the same! Hope you enjoyed! Well for a test it looked pretty good even if you couldn't see any of the actual falafel.0

When you baked your falafel, did you spray it with cooking spray? I have never deep fried my own falafel, just pan fried, so this was easier and about the same texture.
I chose the brand of falafel that was just beans and spices (the other brand had a lot of wheat flour) and it is soooooooo peppery that I added a whole can of chickpeas to a half box of mix. If I wanted to get out the food processor, I would have just made from scratch in the first place!!0 -

i didn't bake them, i fried them but i made them from scratch (even from dried beans originally).
all the herbs were from my garden, strictly organic. the beans may be organic, but i can't remember. i buy them in bulk. they're about 50 calories each and i put 2 on a half a pita.0 -
There is a falafel in the health food refrigerated section by Veggie Patch that is awesome! You can heat it in a toaster oven or in the microwave. Its 180 calories for 4 falafel balls. Its great with a salad and it takes care of that fried food craving.0

I freaking love falafel and I don't care if it's fried.0

and yeah, baking it just isn't the same at all. it's okay, but with so many fresh ingredients in its wake, why worry?0
