These vibrant kale and pumpkin falafels offer a nutritious and colourful twist on the classic Middle Eastern street food. By using grated pumpkin and earthy kale, these falafels achieve a wonderful depth of flavour and a moist texture that contrasts perfectly with their crisp, oven-baked exterior. Toasted pumpkin seeds add a sophisticated nuttiness, while the golden hue from the turmeric makes this dish a feast for the eyes as well as the palate.

This vegetarian main is ideal for a wholesome midweek dinner or a sophisticated weekend lunch. The accompanying pickled carrot slaw provides a sharp, zesty crunch that cuts through the richness of the falafels, while the combination of cooling Greek-style yoghurt and creamy tahini adds a luxurious finish. It is a brilliant way to enjoy your daily greens and seasonal root vegetables in one satisfying, fibre-rich meal.
