Hearty spinach falafel is the star of this colourful dish, with the chermoula-spiced roasted veg coming in at a close second. We've also halved the potato quantity and added carrot and capsicum to keep the carbs in check. Tie it all together with a herby yoghurt, pickled cucumber, plus crumbled fetta, to make it even better. Don't forget the flaked almond garnish for some crunch! This recipe is under 650kcal per serving.

Utensils
Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Cut potato, carrot and capsicum into bite-sized chunks. • Place prepped veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with chermoula spice blend and season with a pinch of pepper. Toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 25-30 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the veggies between two trays.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber into half moons (see ingredients). • In a small bowl, combine the vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. • Add cucumber to pickling liquid. Add just enough water to cover the cucumber. Set aside.
• See 'air fryer tips!' (below). When the veggies have 10 minutes remaining, use your hands to break each spinach falafel into quarters (don't worry if they crumble!). • In a large frying pan, heat some olive oil (1/4 cup for 2 people/ 1/2 cup for 4 people) over medium high heat. When oil is hot, cook falafel pieces, tossing, until deep golden brown, 4-6 minutes. • Season generously, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
• In a small bowl, combine Greek-style yoghurt, dill & parsley mayonnaise and a splash of the pickling liquid. Season to taste. Set aside.
• Drain pickled cucumber. • Transfer the slightly cooled roasted veggies to a bowl. • Add salad leaves and pickled cucumber. Drizzle with a little olive oil. Gently toss to combine.
• Divide Middle Eastern roast veggies between bowls. Top with falafel, some herby yoghurt and crumbled fetta cubes. • Sprinkle with flaked almonds to serve. Enjoy!
Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: The chermoula-spiced roasted veggies, herby yoghurt, and pickled cucumber were widely praised for their well-balanced, bold flavours. The flaked almonds added a satisfying crunch that many customers appreciated.
- Ease of prep: Most found the dish straightforward and quick to pull together on a weeknight. One customer simplified things by oven-cooking the falafel alongside the veggies rather than pan-frying.
- Suggestions: Several customers found the falafel quite dry and recommend using plenty of the herby yoghurt dressing to compensate. One customer suggested swapping potato for sweet potato or pumpkin, and another felt the pickled cucumber overpowered the other elements, so adjust the quantity to taste.
- Leftovers: The dish held up well the next day, with at least one customer enjoying it for lunch.
- Portions: Some felt the balance was slightly off, with a generous amount of falafel but fewer veggies than expected, particularly for four people. Using just one bag of salad leaves was recommended to avoid the greens overwhelming the roasted vegetables.
