Butternut Squash Falafel Balls

Here’s my meatless Monday lunch, a Messy Kitchen original. I needed lunch for the week and also needed to use up the half onion, mashed squash, and half can of chickpeas sitting in my fridge. Throw it all in a food processor, and voilĂ !
Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup mashed butternut squash
  • 1/4 quaker oats
  • 1 cup chickpeas
  • 1/2 small onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • heaping 1 teaspoon cumin
  • scant 1/8 teaspoon cayenne powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon flax seed meal

Makes 8-9 falafel balls

Directions:

  1. Put onion, garlic, chickpeas and squash in a food processor until well combined but still chunky.
  2. Mix in remaining ingredients and combine well.
  3. Scoop into a greased mini-muffin pan and bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until browned and crispy. Wait until cooled thoroughly to remove.

Week 6 Winner: Roasted Butternut Squash, Goat Cheese, Bacon and Sage Lasagna
