About Spicy falafel

Spicy Falafel is a flavorful Middle Eastern dish enjoyed worldwide. Made primarily from chickpeas or fava beans blended with garlic, onions, parsley, and a mix of bold spices like cumin, coriander, and chili powder, these crispy fritters pack a punch of heat and taste. Traditionally deep-fried, falafel can also be baked for a healthier option. Rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and essential vitamins, it's a nutritious choice that satisfies hunger while supporting digestive health. However, deep frying adds extra calories and fat, so portion sizes and preparation methods matter. Often served in pita bread or atop salads, spicy falafel is a versatile and vibrant addition to vegetarian or vegan meals, celebrating the bold flavors of Middle Eastern cuisine.
