Supergreen Falafel Bowls (Gluten-free + Oil-free)

January 16, 2017 By Carrots and Flowers

Supergreen Baked Falafel Bowls | Vegan, Oil-free, and Gluten-free | Healthy, easy, and so delicious | Perfect recipe for a quick lunch or dinner

Oil-free baked falafel bowls! The perfect detox meal after a weekend of eating too much, drinking too much, and generally ignoring any and all personal health goals.

Since I spent the weekend chowing down on vegan oatmeal cream pies the size of my face, I’ll be making these baked falafel bowls for lunch all week to get back on track.

I packed as much green as I could into these baked falafel bowls. The falafel itself is made with tons of kale and parsley. The bowls are filled with spiralized cucumber, crunchy raw green beans, mixed greens, baby kale, and a healthy scoop of my favorite parsley hummus.

I coated the falafels in buckwheat groats to add a bit crunch without using oil. It worked beautifully! I’m definitely going to be working these groats into future dishes.

Also, can we please talk about spiralized cucumber? It’s my new favorite way to eat cucumber in a salad. I’m dreaming up more raw dishes this week just to work in spiralized cucumber!

I’ve also noticed that the more raw foods I eat, the more energy I have. While I don’t aspire to be 100% raw, I’m always interested in feeling better and more energized!

A delicious and healthy detox meal! Supergreen baked falafel packed with kale and tons of flavor. Vegan, gluten-free, and oil-free.
Author: Carrots and Flowers
Recipe type: Main Course
Cuisine: Vegan, Gluten-free, Oil-free
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 2 cups mixed greens
  • 2 cups baby kale
  • 2 large cucumbers, spiralized
  • 2 avocados, sliced
  • 1 lb green beans, trimmed
  • 1 cup parsley hummus
  • Lemon juice and tahini to dress the bowls

  • Supergreen Baked Falafel
  • 1 can chickpeas (14oz)
  • 2 large kale leaves, torn
  • ½ cup parsley leaves
  • 3 Tbsp tahini
  • 1¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup buckwheat groats
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F. In a large food processor bowl, combine all falafel ingredients except for the buckwheat groats and pulse until the mixture is mostly smooth but still a bit chunky (not a homogenous paste.)
  2. Form the falafel mixture into 2 inch balls, then flatten them slightly into thick discs. Coat the falafels in the buckwheat groats, pushing the groats into the falafel so they stick.
  3. Bake the falafels at 350F for 15 minutes, then flip them and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Meanwhile, trim the ends of the green beans and spiralize the cucumbers. Divide the baby kale and mixed greens into 4 bowls and garnish them with sliced avocado and spiralized cucumbers.
