Here's a quick weeknight dinner that never fails to impress. These falafel burgers come together in just 15 minutes of prep, making them perfect for busy evenings when you want something tasty without the fuss. I love using canned chickpeas because they're incredibly affordable and packed with plant based protein and fiber, keeping you satisfied long after dinner. The whole thing cooks in under six minutes, so you'll have a warm, crispy burger in your hands faster than you can say takeaway. Serve them in toasted pitta with fresh salsa and greens for a complete, satisfying meal that tastes far more impressive than the minimal effort required.
