About Smashed falafel
Smashed Falafel is a modern twist on the traditional Middle Eastern dish, falafel, which originated in Egypt and has become a staple across the Levant and beyond. Made from ground chickpeas or fava beans blended with herbs like parsley and cilantro, garlic, and spices such as cumin and coriander, this protein-rich mixture is lightly smashed after pan-frying or baking for added texture. Chickpeas, the core ingredient, are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential minerals like iron and magnesium. The dish is often served with fresh vegetables, tahini sauce, and whole-grain wraps or bowls, making it a balanced choice for meals. While traditional falafel is deep-fried, smashed falafel is frequently prepared with less oil, offering a healthier alternative. However, extra sauces or toppings may add calories and fat, so mindful pairing is key to maintaining its nutritious appeal.
