Falafel is a traditional Middle-Eastern dish, made with ground chickpeas or fava beans usually deep fried and served in a pita bread. This is a baked version made without the deep frying keeping the falafels healthier. A wonderful way to serve the gluten-free falafels is with an eggplant dip or full-fat plain yogurt
