We were so excited to find <\/span>Hannah Kaminsky’s<\/a> recipe for Sunflower Seed Falafel. \u00a0We love falafel, but rarely eat it anymore because chickpeas tend to cause quite a blood sugar spike. \u00a0Sunflower seeds, however, do not. According to nutritiondata.com, a cup of sunflower seeds has 28 grams of carb. \u00a0If our math is right, that means 10 sunflower seed falafel balls should have only 14 grams of carb. \u00a0Can’t beat that. \u00a0Skip the pita bread and toss the falafel onto a salad like Hannah did. \u00a0We recommend trying this fantastic\u00a0<\/span>lemon tahini dressing<\/a>\u00a0on the salad.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

What’s also terrific about this recipe is that the falafel is baked, not deep fried. \u00a0Hannah says, “Just slightly crispy on the outside, but lusciously tender and moist on the inside, sunflower seed falafel is a welcome change of pace from the typically heavy, often greasy, fried variety. – Jessica Apple<\/em><\/p>\n
