These simple to make beetroot falafel buddha bowls are an ideal packed lunch or light dinner! They’re totally vegan and baked, not fried!
You can build these buddha bowls up with whatever you like. I love to let the flavour of the beetroot falafels shine by pairing them with the pure simplicity of some fluffed up quinoa, kale massaged with salt, rapeseed oil and lime juice, hummus and a few slices of buttery avocado. The beetroot falafels really do speak for themselves – they’re slightly sweet from the beetroot and packed with flavour from the spices.
