2 falafel waffles topped with tzatziki and romesco sauce served with a greek salad — Using a waffle press is one of the easiest ways to cook falafel, plus it turns out crunchier and more moist than baking it!

Falafel waffles are the best way to cook falafel

If you love falafel and love waffles than you are going to love falafel waffles, or as I like to call it, fawaffles. I absolutely love falafel and I think the falafel mix from Trader Joe’s is seriously one of the most underrated products. I normally make it the traditional way, I roll it into balls and air fry them. I have been trying to use my waffle maker more so it isn’t always collecting dust and decided to try it out on the falafel mix and it is the winning way!

If you have been a falafel hater becuase you find them to be too dense and dry, try it one more time as a fawaffle and I promise it will change your mind.

How to make a falafel waffle

These are very easy to make and take less than than baking or even air frying.

Heat up waffle maker and once ready, spray with oil
Place 1/4 cup of waffle mix on waffle maker and close lid. Let cook for 5 minutes or until crispy
Top each waffle with preferred dip

I used my dash mini waffle maker for these. I have this for 3 years now and love it but you can use any sized waffle maker, you just may need to adjust the amount of mix you use to fill the pan.
