Healthy Street Food Makeover: Baked Falafel in Xtrema, OH YES!

|| 5 MIN READ

Clean Eating Baked Falafel! 

This is a must try recipe from our friend Erin L. over at Clean Cuisine and More.

We received this recipe from Clean Cuisines weekly newsletter and just had to share it with all of you.  We truly believe that Clean Cuisine is the perfect healthy life-style “diet”  to adapt with your Xtrema All Natural Ceramic Cookware.  Eating healthy and cooking healthy go hand-in-hand and that is possible with Xtrema and Clean Cuisine.  Eat Clean in a Clean Kitchen!

                           Here is a brief exert from the article.  
The Clean Cuisine mission: So, we thought it might be fun to hit the streets and clean ‘em up. And…where better to start than FALAFEL?!   This delectable treat is not only a popular item today but has been made with healthful ingredients for street-goers since ancient times. Deliciously filling fritters made with fiber-packed and antioxidant-rich legumes, herbs, and spices, Falafel is a treat that is bursting with nutrient density.

The Skinny:  So, you might be asking, “what’s to clean up?” Well…even though the ingredients in Falafel pack a healthful punch, it is essential to remember that how we cook is just as important as what we cook. Falafel is typically prepared in deep fryers filled with highly refined, empty-calorie vegetable oils. The nutrients and fiber in this scrumptious treat are removed when we saturate them with oil, even the deceivingly healthful-sounding oils that are labeled organic, all-natural, and gluten free. And, while Clean Cuisine realizes that an oil-free kitchen is likely to be unexciting and bland, nobody should be eating an oil-rich diet. Deep-frying is not the best way to maintain optimal health, disease prevention, weight loss, vitality, longevity, or good taste…

“By baking your Falafel in healthy, toxic-free cookware like Xtrema by Ceramcor and not stinking up your house with hot fryer oil, it is also a fun and fashionably clean dish to serve while entertaining.”
