Instrucciones parar prepara Edamame Falafel Lunchbox

  1. Pull your edamame out of the freezer to defrost. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.

  2. In a food processor, combine the edamame, garlic, mint, cumin, flour, eggs, baking soda, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Blend it up!

  3. Roll your falafel into small balls, a bit larger than super bouncy ball size. Or you can use a small scoop or melon baller to keep the size consistent. Place falafel on the prepped baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes, turning half way through. 

  4. While the falafel bakes, let’s make a quick yogurt sauce. Grate up your cucumber and remove any excess moisture by squeezing between paper towels. In a bowl, combine the yogurt and grated cucumber. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. Grab a pita and we’ll start to build. Line the pita with lettuce, add a few tomato slices, smother with yogurt sauce, and top with a few falafels.

  6. Complete your lunchbox with anything you please: figs, hummus, radishes, chocolate, carrot shreds, grapes, boiled egg, kiwi - whatever you love!
