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 pumpkin to keep the carbs in check. Tie it all together with a dill and parsley yoghurt, pickled onion, 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.

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 rice wine vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt. • Add cucumber to pickling liquid. Add just enough water to cover the cucumber. Set aside.
• 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 and herby yoghurt dressing were widely praised, with the pickled cucumber and a splash of pickling liquid in the dressing a standout touch.
- Ease of prep: Most found this quick and straightforward to pull together, and one reviewer noted that following the packet instructions to oven-bake the falafel saved time, effort, and washing up.
- Suggestions: Some found the falafel quite dry; cooking carefully and having extra yoghurt on hand helps, and one reviewer suggested fresh herbs stirred into the sauce would boost the dressing. If the veggie tray looks crowded, roasting across two trays gives better results.
- Leftovers: One reviewer enjoyed this for lunch all week and found it tasted even better the next day, though another noted it does not hold up as well as leftovers.
- Portions: Most found the meal satisfying and filling, though a few felt it was on the smaller side and suggested adding extra potato or pumpkin to bulk it up.
