Instructions

Instructions

For Waffles

  1. Prepare falafel mix as directed on the package until the mix is ready to be cooked.
  2. 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

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Slice eggplant in 1/2″ slices, then quarter the slices to form wedges.
  3. Spread olive oil on a large baking sheet and roll cut eggplant in oil to coat.
  4. Sprinkle with garlic salt.
  5. Roast for 10 minutes, flip eggplant slices, then bake for 10 minutes more (20 min total).

To assemble

  1. Place a falafel waffle on a plate, spread with hummus, top with roasted eggplant, then add your favorite toppings.
  2. 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
