These look great, Maria! I love falafel.
I have never had beets before, but now I know I how I want to eat them for the first time! These beet falafels look so yummy! I always enjoy your lunch prep posts 🙂
Beet falafel with pita sounds so delicious. I have always only used chickpeas to make falafel, never beet. These look so good, and will really make a great lunch. I would love to give these a try.
