Falafel Sandwich

Falafel Sandwich

Everyday

A falafel sandwich is a Middle Eastern street food staple featuring spiced chickpea fritters served in pita bread with fresh vegetables and tahini sauce. The crispy, herb-infused falafel provides substantial plant-based protein and fiber, while the sandwich assembly typically includes nutrient-dense additions like shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and pickled vegetables. Though traditionally deep-fried, baked versions offer a lower-fat alternative while maintaining the characteristic blend of earthy spices and textures.
