Sweet Potato Falafel Recipe

Making falafel is just about one of the easiest things you can do. It is a fast food for a reason, it takes almost no time to make.

I will say this however, falafels are traditionally deep fried. But we will do no such thing today.

If you have not guessed it by now, the reason why my falafels are not perfectly round, is because I fried them in a pan.

So, worry not foodie one, you will be making these in your kitchen.

Carb-up day.

After one-month keto, I am so glad that I can finally have one day a week where I can consume a moderate amount of healthy carbs: such as bananas, sweet potatoes, legumes, tomatoes ect.

I’m so excited.

Here are some common questions about falafel

Can I use canned chickpeas for this recipe? No. They will fall apart in the pan as you flip them, and you will be very disappointed.

I don’t like chickpeas; can I use something else? Yes, you can make it with any dried legume of your choice. Just make sure you soak overnight.

Is falafel healthy? Deep fried falafel. Not really. They’re as healthy as French fries I guess.

How long can I keep the mixture in the fridge? You can make in advance and store in your fridge for up to 3 days.

Can I freeze them? Yes, totally. Cook, let cool and freeze. When warming up, use an over rather than a microwave.

Can I bake instead of frying? Yes, spray your pan with some oil, and bake until golden brown.
