This quick recipe comes together in 30 minutes using just a blender and baking sheet – zero frying necessary. Cashews soaked in water are the secret ingredient and replace the beans found in a traditional falafel recipe. Not only do the cashews help the falafel ingredients stick together, but they also create a silky, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

A few notes on the ingredients: Think of the spices and herbs listed below as a jumping point. Coriander, cardamom, ginger or cilantro would be yummy additions. You could even add a teaspoon of wasabi paste for a real kick! There are many ways to change up the flavor of the falafels, so feel free to experiment with your favorite ingredients.

If you like to meal prep, these Paleo falafels can be made ahead of time. Simply store them in the refrigerator or freezer in an airtight container. Then when you’re ready to eat them, heat up the falafels over the stove like a burger for an easy, no-fuss meal.
