Vegan Beet Falafel with Harissa Tahini Dressing
Nov 22, 2024 11:54 AM
This crispy Beet Falafel with Harissa Tahini Dressing is a colourful twist on traditional falafel! It’s baked instead of fried, making it an easier way to get your Mediterranean flavor fix
This isn’t your traditional falafel!
While I don’t think anyone would turn down classic, crispy falafel made with chickpeas, this version adds tender roasted beets to the mix — and it gives the falafel the prettiest pink colour. Not only that, it also adds a smooth texture thanks to the moisture in the beets.
Now, I know what you’re thinking: does it taste like beets?
The answer is no! With the parsley, ground coriander, and cumin, this beet falafel tastes very much like traditional falafel, with just a hint of sweetness. What it doesn’t have is a strong beet flavour, so even if you’re not a beet fan, you’ll enjoy this falafel.
