Baking

A classic dish from Israeli cuisine, the falafel, hits all the right senses with its unique flavor profile and Middle Eastern flare. Because it is a tried and true favorite, I decided to shake up the recipe a bit to create a healthier and more festive Chanukah feel. Both a high fiber and high protein option versus the classic potato latkes, this modification will become your new favorite. (And because it’s Chanukah, the holiday that celebrates oil, you can pan-fry in a skillet with a few tablespoons of avocado oil instead of baking, about 6 minutes on each side.) <br /> <br />Falafel recipe excerpted from <strong><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Secrets-Kosher-Girl-21-Day-Nourishing/dp/1682614999?tag=food52-20">Secrets of a Kosher Girl</a></strong>, and tahini sauce excerpted from <strong><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1626365717/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i1?tag=food52-20">Living a Real Life with Real Food</a></strong>, both by Beth Warren, RD.
