Sweet Potato Falafel Wraps
What it is
These are pre-formed falafel patties made with sweet potato. They offer a slightly sweeter flavor profile compared to traditional chickpea falafel. The texture is designed to be tender on the inside with a pleasant exterior when cooked. They are a convenient way to enjoy falafel at home without making them from scratch. Each patty is a ready-to-heat option for a quick meal.
How people cook with it
These falafel are perfect for a fast and flavorful meal. They can be enjoyed in various ways, making them a versatile addition to your kitchen.
- In pita bread
- On a salad

- In a wrap
To prepare, you can pan-fry these falafel patties in a little oil over medium heat until they are golden brown and heated through. Alternatively, they can be baked in an oven for a less oily option. Ensure they are cooked thoroughly before serving. They pair well with a variety of sauces and toppings, such as tahini, hummus, or a fresh yogurt-based dressing. They are also excellent stuffed into warm pita bread or served alongside rice or a fresh salad.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional falafel that primarily use chickpeas, these patties incorporate sweet potato. This addition lends a natural sweetness and a slightly softer texture. The color is also a warmer orange hue due to the sweet potato, distinguishing them visually from their chickpea counterparts.

How to keep the rest
