This version of falafel is a great alternative for those following a low-carb lifestyle. The recipe is full of fiber rich ingredients, and we avoid the deep frying that traditional falafels are cooked by. This dish is perfect served as main or as an appetizer while entertaining along with your favorite Everiday chili sauce, and other dips.
