The week before last week, our kitchen truly had the ‘international’ theme going on the entire week! Started with the Japanese meal on Monday which I posted last week and then mid week we had falafels and then ending with thai noodles on Friday. The days in between we had Indian and Mexican.! How wonderful isn’t it?
For the falafels I added lots of mint too in addition to the usual cilantro/parsley. So these were really herbed falafels plus I additionally tried baking them instead of deep frying them. Came out super. Not only is baking an healthy option but it also takes less work. Just stick them in the oven in a large tray! Also made a quick hummus to go with the sandwiches.
Bringing these healthy falafel pita wraps to Throwback Thursdays and Fiesta Friday this week where Suzanne @ apuginthekitchen and Zeba @ Food For The Soul are co-hosts this week.

thanks Mollie. Yes I was not only amazed that these still retained the crispiness but it also took less effort than deep frying! Win Win! 🙂
I just love falafel. It’s a perfect appetizer or lunch item that is just packed with delicious flavor!
yes so much flavor! And baking still gave the crispy texture that I love about them!
