Happy Sunday guys! Today on the blog is Oven-baked Beetroot Falafel – moist, delicious and super simple, baked in the oven falafels.
Not only these colourful falafels are healthy but they’re super simple to make, taste amazing and are very budget-friendly. Basically, they tick all the boxes! Perfect for adding in wraps, sandwiches, salads or just snacking on them. 🤤
What you need:
- cooked chickpeas
- roasted beetroot
- garlic
- parsley
- lemon
- olive oil
- salt
Here’s how to make the tasty and healthy Oven-baked Beetroot Falafel
Ingredients:
- 2 large beetroots, cut into pieces and roasted in the oven ( I roasted them with some olive oil and sea salt at 200C for about 20 minutes, I also added the garlic in, it tastes so much better when roasted, I think )
- 250g cooked chickpeas (you can use tinned or cook them from dry)
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed (if roasting with the beetroot add them whole)
- 1 lemon, juice only
- 3tbsp olive oil
- 30g (more or less) fresh parsley, chopped
- salt to taste
Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 200C.
- In a bowl, combine all the ingredients and blitz them together. Refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes.
- Shape small falafels (I used an ice-cream scoop) and line them on a baking tray, covered with baking parchment.
- Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes or until ready.
- Serve with some fresh salad in a wrap/pita or simply enjoy them on their own with a side of dipping sauce.
Enjoy!

I had an amazing day yesterday – we went to a farm and picked lots of veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, beets, cabbage, beans, carrots) and fruit (Cox apples, strawberries, raspberries) so will be doing lots of new recipe testing featuring these veg and fruit. Make sure to check back this space here!
Meanwhile, have a delicious and relaxing Sunday. xx
