If you like falafel as much as I do, then you will love my Habanero Falafel Sliders recipe, which is loaded with a Curry Tahini Sauce. Falafel is something that we make regularly in my household.   It’s the perfect way for vegetarian’s to get protein from chickpeas and also be happy (because food is my usual source of happiness). Something that I always disliked about falafel though is that it’s usually always deep fried. I mean I love it – but I hate it.

I wanted to make a healthier version for you guys because we don’t need to be gulping down tablespoons of oil while eating something that can easily be oil free.   Pan frying still uses oil, but you can control how much you put on the pan, and only use an amount that you feel is sufficient. When deep frying, you don’t realize how much of the oil you are actually taking in, so this is definitely a better alternative.

Now you may be wondering why I decided to make this dish in a slider form, as opposed to eating it with pita. Something that really annoyed me when I was growing up eating falafel is that my pita would end up ripping because all of the sauces (and I add sauce to literally every single bite) would make it soggy and then it would get all over my hands because it would be dripping from the bottom.   And why should anyone EVER have to reduce the amount of sauce they use? That’s just not right. So, my mom ended up putting my falafel in between 2 slices of bread for me and I would eat it like a sub sandwich! So even though I still love it with the pita, I prefer making these patties even more and eating them with hamburger buns, or really any type of bread that can handle a butt load of sauce LOL.

This recipe is great because you can freeze the falafel mixture for up to a month if you don’t want to use it all at once. It’s also the best dish to customize because you can throw in any extra veggies or ingredients on to your slider if you need to use something up from the fridge.  If habaneros are too spicy for you, feel free to use any pepper, or omit peppers if you don’t like heat in your food!
