Baked Falafel Pie ~
This falafel pie is quick, easy, and always a hit in our house!
You can have this meal on the table in 30 minutes or less! And it’s one of those dishes that looks like you spent way more time on it than you actually did. Sounds great, right? I love having recipes like this on hand for busy days.
A base of oven-baked falafel is topped with layers of hummus, tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, kalamata olives, and vegan feta cheese. A drizzle of tzatziki sauce over the top adds the finishing touch.
The time-saving trick here is that we’re taking the semi-homemade route. Good quality, pre-made hummus along with the falafel mix can be definite time savers!
Quick Tip for Success
- While the recipe will work fine with a traditional pie dish, I’ve come to prefer using an 8″ springform pan. It just makes for easier serving and the presentation is nice because it allows you to see more of the layers.
Ingredients for Baked Falafel Pie
You will need:
- 5 ounces falafel mix
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup plain hummus
- 1/2 cup cucumber, seeded and chopped
- 1/4 cup tomato, seeded and chopped
- 1/2 cup iceberg lettuce, shredded
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives, seeded and chopped
- 1/4 cup vegan feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup non-dairy tzatziki sauce
How to Make Baked Falafel Pie
STEP ONE: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
STEP TWO: In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the falafel mix and water.
STEP THREE: Pour the mixture into the springform pan and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before proceeding to the next step.
STEP FOUR: With the springform still in place, layer hummus, cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, olives, and feta. Finish with a drizzle of tzatziki sauce. Remove the springform and serve the pie warm or at room temperature.
