Falafel

I like to meal prep and this dish is quick and easy to make and you can serve it in different ways.

I made these Falafel with chickpeas, carrot, parsley and tahini. The main ingredients are chickpeas, which like other legumes are high in fibre and protein and will keep you fuller for longer. Parsley is a good source of vitamin K, A, C, folate and iron.
