step 04
To serve, spread mayonnaise on a toasted bun and top with the patties and veggies.

Tips & Substitutions
- Substitute the fresh herbs for dried parsley and cilantro in the pantry instead. Dried herbs pack a powerful punch, so you’ll want to reduce the quantity in the falafel recipe. A simple conversion when a recipe calls for fresh herbs is to use 1/3 of that amount in dried herbs instead. For these patties, you’ll want to add 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon of dried parsley and 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons of dried cilantro.
- No red onion at home? These falafels burgers are just as delicious with ¼ cup of chopped yellow onion or chopped shallots instead.
- Make it once and serve it twice! These freezer-friendly gluten-free falafel recipe will last up to a month when stored in the freezer in an airtight container.
