Are you a falafel fan? If you haven’t tried this delicious Middle Eastern food, you are missing out! Falafel are Middle Eastern fast food, basically made of chickpeas, garlic, fresh herbs and spices. They are usually deep fried so they get super crispy on the outside, and remain tender on the inside.

My falafel recipe is not totally traditional, but it is delicious and easy to make at home!

This Vegan Falafel recipe only requires 7 ingredients, and they are all easy to find foods. You will need:

Garlic
