The aromas of garlic, parsley, and cumin are some of my absolute favourites. They come together perfectly in this paleo falafel recipe.
Loaded with nutrient-dense foods, these falafels are a great way to add nutrients to your diet.
Traditionally, falafels contain chickpeas, but some individuals with compromised digestive tracts may have a hard time digesting them. This recipe was designed to fulfill the gap so those individuals can still enjoy delicious falafels.
