Overview[edit | edit source]
Keto Falafels are a low-carb take on the classic Middle Eastern dish. Made without chickpeas, these falafels still deliver a crunchy exterior and flavorful interior, perfect for dipping or enjoying in a keto-friendly wrap.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tbsp flaxseed meal
- 1/2 cup chopped parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup chopped mint
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp coriander
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2-3 tbsp water or as needed

Preparation[edit | edit source]

- 3. Shape the mixture into small balls or patties.
- 4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry falafels until they are golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes per side.
