For those of you that don’t know, my husband is Turkish. We eat a lot of Turkish inspired meals at our house. Falafel is just one of those. So I made a baked falafel burger. Since traditional falafels are fried, I wanted to make them healthier by doing a baked falafel burger. These baked falafel burgers came out great!
I am a lover of all veggie burgers and this is just another great recipe. You can eat this on a burger bun, but I prefer to eat them as is or with a little veganaise. They would be great on top of a salad as well.
