Falafel Tart is a savory Mediterranean-inspired dish made with a baked falafel crust, creamy hummus, crisp vegetables, and tangy feta. Serve with Lemon Herb Couscous or a side of warm pita and Homemade Tzatziki Sauce.
Easy Mediterranean Flavors
I like this recipe because it takes a basic falafel mix and turns it into something unexpected, and it’s a meal you can have on the table in 30 minutes or less. The falafel base bakes up sturdy and golden, then gets layered with classic toppings—hummus, cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, and feta—for a dish that feels like a falafel pie or a fun twist on a hearty salad.
Ingredients for Falafel Tart
You will need the following:
- Falafel mix – Check the package and follow the water ratio; herbs and spices are already included.
- Hummus – Used as a creamy layer; plain hummus works best to let the falafel flavor shine.
- Fresh Veggies: Cucumber, tomato, and lettuce.
- Olives: Kalamata olives add a salty bite.
- Feta Cheese – Brings tang and creaminess without overpowering the other flavors.
How to Make Falafel Tart
STEP ONE: Preheat the Oven. Set the oven to 350°F.
STEP TWO: Bake the Falafel Crust. Stir the falafel mix with water as directed on the package. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes so it firms up, then press into a 10-inch springform pan. Bake 15 minutes. Let the falafel layer cool for about 15 minutes.
STEP TWO: Add the Toppings. Leaving the pan in place, layer on hummus, cucumber, tomato, lettuce, olives, and crumbled feta. Remove the springform ring, slice like a pizza, and serve warm or at room temperature.
