Falafels are such a great source of plant based protein and are a great addition to wraps and rice bowls. I love adding sweet potato to falafels since it helps make the texture perfect so when you bite into the falafel the outside is crunchy and the inside is soft and melts in your mouth. My favorite way to eat falafels is in a Mediterranean rice bowl! This recipe makes 12 falafel!
