,gravity=Center)
Can fried food be healthy? Certainly – with some easy tweaks and fun twists. One prime example is falafel, a wondrous golden ball filled with ground chickpeas or garbanzos. Just one serving of falafel already fills up a quarter of the daily recommended fiber intake. But what makes falafel recipes so globally beloved is their taste. The crispy outside excites your palate, and the fresh, herby flavor inside lures you to reach for a second.
The traditional way to make falafel is by soaking the legumes overnight. Thanks to the invention of canned chickpeas, you only need 30 minutes to serve these one-biters. Ready to explore the flavor of Middle Eastern cuisine?

Cooking Method
Mashing and rolling falafels can be fun when you do it with friends and family – or even the kids. Dip your hands in water before shaping each ball to keep the mixture from sticking to your fingers. The last thing to do is enjoy your fritters. But what is falafel without a side of pita or shawarma rice? You can assemble a falafel platter with rice, gyro, and hot sauce. If you want a grab-and-go lunch, do a Lebanese-style falafel wrap with toasted flatbread and pickled vegetables.
