Instructions
Instructions
For Waffles
- Prepare falafel mix as directed on the package until the mix is ready to be cooked.
- Put 1/4 of the prepared mix onto each section of the waffle iron and follow your waffle iron directions to cook them as you would with normal waffle batter.
For Garlic Roasted Eggplant
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Slice eggplant in 1/2″ slices, then quarter the slices to form wedges.
- Spread olive oil on a large baking sheet and roll cut eggplant in oil to coat.
- Sprinkle with garlic salt.
- Roast for 10 minutes, flip eggplant slices, then bake for 10 minutes more (20 min total).
To assemble
- Place a falafel waffle on a plate, spread with hummus, top with roasted eggplant, then add your favorite toppings.
- Serve with pita triangles, couscous, and olives.
Notes
- Carnivore: Stuff the falafel mix with cooked chicken or steak before putting on the waffle iron for a meat-filled version. (or just add it on top, but that’s not as fun!)
- Vegan: Falafel is vegan. 🙂 Just skip the tzatziki.
- Gluten Free: Most falafel mix contains flour, but you can purchase a gluten-free version in some places or make your own with this easy recipe
