If you love falafel, why not eat it in burger form? These falafel patties are a must-try for just that. The herbed and spiced chickpeas are held together by almonds, or any nut that you have on hand — no flour necessary — and they're fried until they're crunchy and golden on the outside. These go great with guac, salsa, and pair beautifully with thick-cut sweet potato fries.
