  • On the baking sheet add olive oil and place the falafels and bake until they turn golden brown on both sides.

For creamy curry dressing

Notes

  • You can substitute the greek yogurt and sour cream with cashew paste. Just soak some cashews for an hour in warm water and then blend it to a smooth paste and then use it as base to dressing.
  • You can use carrots or beets instead of sweet potatoes if you're not a great fan of it. Either way it taste delicious, but make sure you're roasting them before making falafels.
