Healthier Baked Beetroot Falafel

For a healthier option, bake your falafels instead of frying them.

Baking Falafel is a great alternative when you don't want to eat too much fat or are on a diet and want to enjoy food like falafels and fries.While baking, make sure the  temperature is high -190 degrees Centrigrade.Usually falafels tend to be a bit dry and crumbly when baked in oven but the extra moisture from the beetroot helps them remain soft.
