Falafel Baguette Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.Start by preparing the falafel mixture. In a food processor, combine chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Pulse until well combined but still slightly chunky.
• STEP 2.Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add breadcrumbs. Mix well until the mixture holds together. Shape the mixture into small balls and place them on a baking sheet.
• STEP 3.Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large skillet. Fry the falafel balls until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel.
• STEP 4.Slice the baguette lengthwise and spread a generous amount of tahini sauce on both sides. Place the falafel balls on one side of the baguette and top with lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Close the sandwich and serve immediately.

Cooking Tips

• To make the falafel mixture easier to handle, refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before shaping into balls.
• If you prefer a healthier option, you can bake the falafel balls in the oven instead of frying them.
• Feel free to customize your falafel baguette with additional toppings such as pickles, olives, or hot sauce.

Storage and Serving

• Falafel baguette is best served immediately while the falafel balls are still crispy.
• If you have leftover falafel balls, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat the falafel balls, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until heated through.
