How healthy is falafel?

[Simply a Floating Turtle]

Sure it's vegetarian, but it's also fried. So how healthy is it really and how could you make it healthier? heart

Falafel is too yuuummmy gonk

[Pikkewyn]

Make it yourself. And bake it in a pan with a good non-sticking pan, so you have to use little to no oil.

I'm not sure what falafel is, but there's nothing wrong with fried vegetarian food >.>;

Usually, if something can be fried it can be baked too. Try a baked version of it like Pikkewyn suggested and see if it's just as tasty 3nodding

You can also try frying it with a "healthier" oil and also not use as much of it.

Contrary to what some people like to say, fat is not bad for you.
In fact, you need to eat a certain amount of fat in order to be healthy.
Some fats are healthier than others, though I can never remember which types are good.
(Other than olive oil, but that's not a good one for cooking with.)
I've baked falafels in the oven and gotten good results.
