Lentil Falafel is a nutritious twist on the traditional Middle Eastern falafel, made by blending protein-packed lentils with fresh herbs like parsley and cilantro, garlic, onion, and aromatic spices such as cumin and coriander. Instead of chickpeas, lentils are the star ingredient, offering a high-fiber, low-fat alternative rich in plant-based protein and essential nutrients like iron, folate, and magnesium. The falafel mixture is shaped into small patties or balls and baked or fried, giving it a crispy texture and flavorful interior. Lentil Falafel pairs beautifully with pita bread, fresh vegetables, and tahini sauce for a wholesome meal. While baked versions are a healthier option with reduced oil content, fried falafel should be enjoyed in moderation due to its higher calorie and fat content. This dish reflects the vibrant, plant-forward traditions of Middle Eastern cuisine while delivering both flavor and nourishment.
