Recipe High-Fibre Falafel Wraps
April 04, 2018
Kick up your lunch routine with all the rich, classic flavours of savoury falafel in a healthy, portable package! These easy falafels are as flavoursome and fibre-full as the traditional versions, but they’re baked, not fried, to let their nutritional best shine through. Hardy chickpeas give the falafel their protein-rich distinction.
Served with a spread of hummus and topped with vegetables, they’re utterly crave-worthy, perfect for a quick lunch option. These flavourful falafels are made with sprouted whole grain breadcrumbs. For an added whole grain goodness, serve wrapped in our sprouted whole grain spinach tortillas.
