Directions
Baked Butternut Falafels With Cucumber Yogurt Dip, This recipe comes from the wonderful book Mon premier dner vgtarien by Alice Hart, which I was gifted for my bday a couple of weeks ago Ive modified it a little bit to suit my tastes even better, but the original was really great as is, too This is different from other recipes in that the falafels are being baked in the oven, so that they arent as heavy I hope you enjoy this as much as we do! 🙂 Note: 30 minutes of chill time are not included in prep time , Very interesting take on falafel! The spices added great depth of flavor, which helped to balance the extra sweetness introduced by the butternut squash These came out a bit softer than usual falafels for me, which I assume is probably the result of using the soft squash and baking instead of frying, but they came off of the parchment paper easily with a spatula, so no problem serving them Thanks for sharing!
