The best thing about falafels aside from their delicious flavour is definitely their crispy exterior. And the advantage of waffle-shaped falafels is that their crispy surface is much larger than that of the balls! These waffles are ideal for brunch but can also be enjoyed for lunch or dinner with a green salad – delicious!
