The only thing better than a falafel is… An even bigger one. This is my big baked falafel. Not sure whether I am a crazy person or whether I’m a genius, but one thing I know for sure is that it is delicious. 🤌

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 175°C and line a 20cm cake tin.

Step 2

Place all falafel ingredients into a food processor and process until smooth. Transfer to a cake tin, smooth over with a spoon and cover in foil. Bake in the oven for 35 minutes. Remove foil and bake for a further 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a skewer comes out clean. Allow to rest for 20 minutes before removing from the tin.

Step 3

Increase oven temperature to 200°C and line a baking tray. Toss together all cauliflower ingredients, line on the baking tray and roast in the oven for 25 - 30 minutes, or until tender and starting to blacken.

Step 4

Top the big falafel with the butter bean dip, cauliflower, pomegranate seeds, parsley and sesame seeds. Slice, serve and enjoy. Store in the fridge for 4 - 5 days.
