Easy Gluten Free Falafel
You’ll love this savory gluten-free falafel. Unlike other recipes, this falafel involves no dehydrating, baking or sprouting. Within twenty minutes you can have raw vegan falafel at home that’s healthier than takeout.
Chickpeas don’t contain gluten so traditionally made falafel is gluten-free. Some recipes use wheat flour and other filler ingredients which contain gluten. So if you’re on a strict gluten-free diet you can make this recipe. But when eating out at restaurants always make sure to ask whether or not the falafel is gluten-free. Especially if you have a condition that is made worse by gluten such as celiac, IBS or chronic constipation. Even though this recipe is gluten-free it does contain seeds. So if you have a nut allergy you should not make this!
Falafel is a traditional middle eastern dish that is fried until golden and crispy. Usually, falafel is made of ground chickpeas, ground fava beans or a combination of both. Onions, garlic, parsley, spices and other herbs are used to add flavor.
I wanted to create a recipe I could make with minimal effort. Frying falafel at home is messy, time consuming (and not the healthiest). Baking falafel is a great alternative to frying, but it still takes a long time to prepare (since you have to wait for it to cook). I’m pretty sure that this is the best falafel recipe that I could come up with since you don’t have to bake it or fry it. It’s tasty and clumps together naturally to form perfect falafel balls.
