Canned chickpeas work perfectly for convenience, but cooked dried chickpeas can also be used.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sweet Potato<\/strong>: Sweet potato helps bind the mixture together and adds a subtle sweetness that works beautifully with the herbs and spices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Red Onion<\/strong>: Red onion adds flavour and a little sweetness while keeping the falafel moist.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Garlic<\/strong>: Fresh garlic adds plenty of flavour and is an essential ingredient in any good falafel mixture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ground Cumin and Ground Coriander<\/strong>: These classic spices give the falafel their distinctive flavour and add warmth without making them spicy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt<\/strong>: Helps bring all the flavours together and enhances the herbs and spices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eggs<\/strong>: The eggs help bind the mixture together and ensure the falafel hold their shape while baking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fresh Parsley<\/strong>: Adds freshness, colour and flavour to the falafel mixture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fresh Coriander\/Cilantro<\/strong>: Adds another layer of fresh herb flavour and is a traditional addition to falafel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spray Oil<\/strong>: Helps the falafel become golden and lightly crisp on the outside while keeping them lighter than deep-fried versions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mint Yogurt<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Yogurt<\/strong>: Provides a cool, creamy contrast to the warm spiced falafel. Greek yogurt works particularly well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lemon Juice<\/strong>: Adds freshness and brightness to the yogurt sauce.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fresh Mint<\/strong>: Gives the yogurt a refreshing flavour that pairs perfectly with the herbs and spices in the falafel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt<\/strong>: Enhances the flavour of the mint yogurt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Honey<\/strong>: Adds a touch of sweetness to balance the lemon and mint.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Once you've gathered all the ingredients and prepared them accordingly, you're all set to create this easy and delightful recipe.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">See the recipe card for specific quantities and instructions.<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1812\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/oven-baked-falafel-9.jpg\" alt=\"close up of oven baked falafel in a light green ceramic dish, dip and salad in background\" class=\"wp-image-47938\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/oven-baked-falafel-9.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/oven-baked-falafel-9-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/oven-baked-falafel-9-768x1160.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/oven-baked-falafel-9-1017x1536.jpg 1017w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/oven-baked-falafel-9-720x1087.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/oven-baked-falafel-9-360x544.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/oven-baked-falafel-9-180x272.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/oven-baked-falafel-9-560x846.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/oven-baked-falafel-9-150x227.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-feast-feature-wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Variations and Substitutes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are plenty of ways to adapt these Oven Baked Falafel depending on what you have on hand, whether you want to change the herbs, adjust the spices or vary the dip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sweet Potato<\/strong> <strong>Swap<\/strong>: Sweet potato helps bind the mixture and adds a subtle sweetness. You can substitute it with butternut squash, canned pumpkin or even regular mashed potato if preferred.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Herbs<\/strong>: Fresh parsley and coriander\/cilantro give the falafel plenty of flavour, but you can use all parsley or all coriander if you prefer. Fresh mint can also be added to the falafel mixture for a different flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Onion<\/strong>: Red onion adds sweetness and colour, but white onion, brown onion or shallots can be used instead.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spices<\/strong>: Cumin and coriander are classic falafel flavours, but you can add paprika, smoked paprika, chilli flakes, cayenne pepper or a little garlic powder for extra flavour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make Them Spicier<\/strong>: Add some finely chopped chilli or extra chilli flakes to the mixture if you enjoy a little heat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mint Yogurt Variations<\/strong>: Instead of mint, try fresh dill, parsley or coriander in the yogurt sauce. You can also swap the honey for maple syrup or leave it out completely.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Yogurt Options<\/strong>: Greek yogurt works particularly well for the dip, but natural yogurt, dairy-free yogurt or even soured cream can be used.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Serve Them Differently<\/strong>: Shape the mixture into larger patties and serve them as falafel burgers, or make smaller bite-sized versions for appetizers and party platters.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1812\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/oven-baked-falafel-10.jpg\" alt=\"oven baked falafel on a bed of salad on a white plate, dip and ceramic dish with remaining falafel in background\" class=\"wp-image-47939\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/oven-baked-falafel-10.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/oven-baked-falafel-10-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/oven-baked-falafel-10-768x1160.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/oven-baked-falafel-10-1017x1536.jpg 1017w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/oven-baked-falafel-10-720x1087.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/oven-baked-falafel-10-360x544.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/oven-baked-falafel-10-180x272.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/oven-baked-falafel-10-560x846.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/oven-baked-falafel-10-150x227.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-feast-branding-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00a0Serving Suggestions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I love serving these Oven Baked Falafel with a simple mixed salad and the mint yogurt dip. It makes a fresh, satisfying lunch that is packed with flavour and perfect for warmer days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are also delicious tucked into a wrap or pita with lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion and a drizzle of the mint yogurt or your favourite dressing. You can serve them in grain bowls with quinoa, rice or couscous, or alongside roasted vegetables for a more substantial meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a snack or appetizer, serve them with extra dips such as hummus, tzatziki or a spicy yogurt sauce. They are also great as part of a mezze-style platter with olives, chopped salad and warm flatbreads.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-group-tip-2\" style=\"border-top-left-radius:12px;border-top-right-radius:12px;border-bottom-left-radius:12px;border-bottom-right-radius:12px\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ee2332cf wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-feast-branding-color-primary-background-color has-background\" style=\"border-top-left-radius:12px;border-top-right-radius:12px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-9c325150 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-077f5b61836c9b4a7500b6220d6eda1b\">Storing and Reheating<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-white-background-color has-background\" style=\"border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:12px;border-bottom-right-radius:12px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-041f66d3 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Storing<\/strong>: Allow the falafel to cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Store the mint yogurt separately in the fridge and use within 3-4 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Reheating<\/strong>: Reheat the falafel in the oven, air fryer or microwave until heated through. The oven or air fryer will give the best texture and help bring back some of the crispness on the outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note on Freezing<\/strong>: I generally do not recommend it. Because of the chickpeas and sweet potato, the texture can become a little softer and more crumbly once thawed and reheated. They are definitely best enjoyed fresh or refrigerated and reheated within a few days.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1812\" src=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/oven-baked-falafel-13.jpg\" alt=\"close up of oven baked falafel on a bed of salad on a white plate, drizzled with yoghurt dip \" class=\"wp-image-47943\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/oven-baked-falafel-13.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/oven-baked-falafel-13-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/oven-baked-falafel-13-768x1160.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/oven-baked-falafel-13-1017x1536.jpg 1017w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/oven-baked-falafel-13-720x1087.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/oven-baked-falafel-13-360x544.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/oven-baked-falafel-13-180x272.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/oven-baked-falafel-13-560x846.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.slimmingeats.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/oven-baked-falafel-13-150x227.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-feast-feature-wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Side Dishes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking for some more side dish ideas?
