Step 6

Cook in the oven for 1520 minutes or until golden and firm

Step 7

Serve in buns or with salad and natural yoghurt

 

*Leave as bitesize balls to create falafels you can use for a snack or packed lunch. You can add different vegetables to the mix, grated courgette works well. Squeeze as much moisture as possible out of the courgette once its grated to stop the mixture becoming too loose*
