These falafels are full of pumpkin flavour, soft in the center and crisp on the outside. Enjoy them in a salad, serving them in a warmed split pita pocket or just on their own. I like serving these on a bed of salad with a lemony Greek yoghurt dressing, but a green tahini sauce (a mixture of cilantro, lemon juice, garlic and sesame paste) would be just amazing if you want to go dairy-free.
| Falafels | Yoghurt Dressing |
|---|
- 400 g Cooked chickpeas, drained
- 250 g Roasted pumpkin, mashed
- 1 tbsp Chickpea flour (or cornstarch)
- 1 Small red onion, finely chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsp Garam masala
- 1 tsp Cumin powder
- 1 Fresh red chilli pepper, finely chopped
- 4 tbsp Fresh flat-leaf parsley (or cilantro), chopped
- 2/3 tsp Black salt (or regular sea salt)
- Olive oil
|
- 150 g Plain Greek yoghurt
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 Garlic clove, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
|
 |
 |
- Preheat oven to 200C/400F. In your food processor, pulse the chickpeas until chunky puree forms. You can use a fork to mash them too.
- Mash the roasted pumpkin in a large bowl. Add in chickpeas, chickpea flour, red onion, minced garlic, garam masala, cumin, chilli pepper, parsley and salt. Mix well and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Shape the mixture into 16 balls and place on a greased baking tray or lined with baking paper. Spray the falafel with olive oil and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. The edges should be crispy and the center is still soft.
- Meanwhile, combine yoghurt, lemon juice and minced garlic in a small bowl. Season to taste. Serve falafels with yoghurt dressing.

ReplyDeleteThat seems unusual and interesting! I love everything pumpkin, and I love falafel.

ReplyDeleteLooks yummy! I love pumpkins. If only I could taste one of them. Lol!
ReplyDeleteWould you believe I have never actually eaten pumpkin, so I guess there is no excuse for me not to try it, now that I have your great recipe to follow.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how small you could get away with making them before they loose their proper texture and flavour? I was just thinking of finger food at a party!
Have a lovely Monday :)
@Yvonne @ Fiction Books Reviews They are actually not big, about 2.5-inch for each if I remember it correct...I wouldn't go smaller than 1.5-inch.
ReplyDeleteAnother tasty bite, perfect for Fall!
ReplyDeleteJenna

ReplyDeleteAdoro la zucca, questi non mi scappano, grazie!!!
ReplyDeletePumpkin falafels recipe is so new Dear Angie! Pumpkin season just beginning here and your recipe looks great.
ReplyDeleteLove the twist on these falafels with the pumpkin puree. Can I assume that sweet potato puree would work as well? Have never made falafel before but just bought some dried garbanzo beans for just this purpose. Pinned!
ReplyDeleteSo love your autumn twist on falafel !!!!
ReplyDeletewow great dear..pumpkin combined with cheekpeas...very yummy for Halloween party in October maybe ^^
ReplyDeleteThe pumpkin twist is perfect for a few October lunches! Looks delicious, Angie!
ReplyDeleteLove your creative twist to original falafal!
ReplyDeleteWhat a tasty and clever idea!
ReplyDeleteThis is very interesting and delicious ��
ReplyDeleteAngie, They look good and despite the fact that I'm not into falafel, I'd give them a try. But there is no way my wife would partake...just doesn't like anything made with chickpeas. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteThis sounds interesting, I was honestly preparing for a falafel this coming weekend now I will make a half and half, this one and the traditional one
ReplyDeleteFall-inspired falafel with pumpkin is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI love falafel and I love pumpkin, sure this recipe is ideal for me. Thank you very much for sharing ^^
ReplyDeleteThese look as good as their deep fried cousins, how did you get the even golden-brown colour? I usually find falafels rather dry but the pumpkin in these would make them silky moist.
ReplyDeleteEva http://kitcheninspirations.wordpress.com/
It sounds great particularly with this dressing :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the pumpkin twist! Going to pin this
ReplyDelete'Tis the season for all things pumpkin. I just made some pumpkin cookies (to post at the end of the month) but something savory like this recipe needs to be on my list.
ReplyDeleteThis is something different, many thanks for sharing the recipe.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
