Dill-icious falafels can wait, lets try regular first
Another new item for summer is the dill falafel! Not going to lie, I’m almost tired of new items. There has been so many its hard to keep up, they all cant be great right? Love falafels and love the pickle/dill flavor that has been everything at Trader Joes recently, so had to gives these a try. Gotta try the original first to really judge the new flavor right? If there great moving on to the dill, let dig in and see how this goes!
Bag and nutrition
Not the best but not the worst. Sodium in frozen foods is usually up there like this, the rest is all pretty mid. Not great but not bad, nothing to write home about. For cooking the bag lists microwave or oven but I took a risk and used the airfryer. Treated it like the oven and preheated at 375 then used the same time line. Airfry is pretty close to oven and just tends to give it that extra crisp! Was excited to see how theyd come out and actually hoping for the worst.
From frozen to in your hand in no time
Laid them our while preheating, about 18 minuets after had falafels! Sprinkled a little fresh lemon juice on top and took a bite—-there good! Have a little extra flavor to them but not overpowering. The airfryer had them crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside, filling flavor was great and the outer shell to inside is a perfect balance. Used just lemon to really taste them, and they still were great. A little hummus would be a dream and a perfect mid day snack.
Thing of beauty
Added them to the new pomodoro cremoso salad and they went so well! excited to actually try the dill ones soon, and have the highest hopes since these are great! Maybe with the dill salad bag or would that be overkill? Well find out soon!
