Falafel waffles are the perfect simple breakfast meal you have been looking for. This is a very flavourful, yet savory treat that is a crowd-pleaser for parties or for simple meal prep ideas. Classic falafel is typically made into bite-sizable balls, deep-fried and served in a pita wrap with veggies, but for this simple and fun twist, we’re going to cook the falafel in a waffle maker topped with homemade garlic yogurt sauce. My favorite part of this recipe is that it’s completely vegan!

Falafel Waffle Recipe (Vegan)

Falafel can be an intimidating recipe to novice chefs.  The more steps there are, the less motivated you might be to cooking. That is why in this recipe, we will be using a boxed falafel mix with a waffle iron to make it even easier. No food processors or deep fryers are used for this recipe! This recipe is highly addicting, super easy to make, and suitable for every occasion.

Are there other ways to make it? 

Absolutely! You can add any fresh herbs and veggies you’d like! Pickled or seasoned veggies with homemade sauces and roasted chickpeas would be all great options here! If you are feeling adventurous, you can substitute the falafel as a patty on a sandwich or a burger.
