It&#8217;s made mainly from chickpeas, spices, and parsley. It is traditionally deep fried, but this homemade version is pan fried, using a lot less oil. It is healthier, but still has that great flavor and taste you get at the restaurant. We love pairing it with this golden rice which comes together so easily in the instant pot! Our favorite toppings include tomatoes, avocado, hummus, and spinach. You can also eat it wrapped in a pita or naan. This is a super easy falafel recipe and you basically just throw everything in the food processor. It&#8217;s great for meal prep too! I love all the bold flavors and it&#8217;s packed with fiber and protein! This falafel recipe was adapted from the amazing Minimalist Baker. The golden rice is made with turmeric, which is a great anti-inflammatory spice. The flavor of the rice is so delicious, I could eat it plain. This dish is flavorful, so tasty, healthy, gluten-free, vegan, and comes together easily! This is one of our favorite meals to make and eat!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2268\" src=\"https:\/\/nutsaboutgreens.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_7231.jpg\" alt=\"Best Easy Falafels with Instant Pot Golden Rice (vegan, gf)\" width=\"5184\" height=\"3456\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2269\" src=\"https:\/\/nutsaboutgreens.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_7245.jpg\" alt=\"Best Easy Falafels with Instant Pot Golden Rice (vegan, gf)\" width=\"5184\" height=\"3456\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2270\" src=\"https:\/\/nutsaboutgreens.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_7247.jpg\" alt=\"Best Easy Falafels with Instant Pot Golden Rice (vegan, gf)\" width=\"5184\" height=\"3456\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-6260\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"6260\" data-servings=\"4\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-template-rosemary\"><div class=\"header\">\n\t<div class=\"recipe-title\">\n\t\t<h2 class=\"wprm-recipe-name wprm-block-text-normal\">Best Easy Falafels with Instant Pot Golden Rice (vegan,gf)<\/h2>\n\t\t<div class=\"wprm-recipe-summary wprm-block-text-normal\"><span style=\"display: block;\">We love Mediterranean food in our house and falafels are our favorite thing to order when we go to a Mediterranean restaurant.
