Chickpeas & Tzatziki
Waffle Falafel is a freezer friendly dish that can be reheated with a toaster coven, air fryer, and even a conventional toaster! It eliminates excessive oil use for frying, makes use out of your waffle iron (it’s not just for breakfast!), and this is so easy to make.
Don’t worry, it still has the Mediterranean/Middle Eastern flavors and with each little pocket can hold all the sauces, like:
- hummus
- tzatziki
- hot sauce
- and MORE!
And it is still good to have with pita bread, the usual vegetables, and paired with chicken.
