Baked Falafel with Tzatziki

Cultural Context

Originating from the Middle East, falafel has become a beloved street food across Greece and beyond. Traditionally made from ground chickpeas or fava beans, these crispy balls are often served in pita with fresh vegetables and sauces. In Greece, falafel is commonly paired with tzatziki, a refreshing yogurt sauce that complements the flavors beautifully. Today, falafel is enjoyed worldwide, with various adaptations and serving styles.
