Ingredients

  • 2 MorningStar® Farms Veggie Lovers Burgers defrosted
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp red onion, chopped
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • olive oil cooking spray

Falafel Toppings

  • Pita bread
  • Tzatziki sauce (recipe link below)
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Tomato slices
  • Sliced cucumber

Instructions

  1. Add the MorningStar® Farms Veggie Lovers Burgers, parsley, cilantro, cumin, garlic, red onion and salt and pepper to a food processor. Pulse the mixture just until everything is finely chopped, scraping down the sides as needed. Don't overmix.

  2. Scoop the fritter mixture into a bowl and add the flour.  Mix the fritter mixture until the flour is incorporated (don't overmix).

  3. Spray a bit of cooking spray onto the palms of your hand, then grab a bit of the mixture and form into round falafel style fritters.  You should be able to form 5-6 fritters.

  4. Using an air fryer or convection over, bake the falafel style fritters for 15 minutes at 400 degrees F. 

  5. Split a pita pocket in half, then add two falafel style fritters into each half. Add lettuce, tomato, cucumber and tzatziki sauce. Serve immediately.
