Traditionally falafel are made with chickpeas which are a no go whilst on a low-carb, paleo diet. These Baked Carrot and Sesame Falafel are Jo’s legume and grain free version… and they’re delicious.

A great addition to your weekday lunchbox. They’re super simple to make, can be enjoyed warm or cold, so you can keep a batch in the fridge to enjoy during the week.

The falafel have so much flavour thanks to the wonderful spices of coriander, cumin and fresh lemon and are so moist from the gooey tahini, olive oil and coconut flour. Perfect snacking food smothered in guacamole or tzatziki or enjoy with a nice salad.
