Celebrate International Falafel Day by cooking up some creative and savory vegan goodness! Here’s 25 scrumptious vegan falafel recipes to get you started!
Holidays. They can be rough on plant eating peeps. If it’s not grandma trying to sneak chicken broth into your stuffing, it’s your uncle giving you weird looks after confirming that you’re still on that meatless kick you started when you were thirteen. Wouldn’t it be great if we had a holiday in celebration of some awesome vegan food? We need a holiday. Madonna probably had falafel in mind when she first belted out that lyric.
Which brings me to the subject of today’s post, and today’s holiday. Did you know that today is the 4th International Falafel Day? Fancy that. Perfect occasion for a vegan celebration if you ask me. And for once, you know the food will be good. Here’s 25 delicious vegan falafel recipes to confirm just that!

Alissa you did an fantastic job, wonderful roundup! Thank you so much for including my recipes!
Thanks Florian! I love your falafel ideas – really brilliant!
I sometimes find falafel a bit dry, but loads of these recipes look amazing! Love the idea of serving them in a curry. Thanks for including my roasted red pepper falafel! :)
I find a lot of restaurant falafel to be a bit dry as well. That’s one of the reasons I love add-ins – they often add some moisture as well as flavor. I’ve been meaning to try your red pepper falafel forever – it sounds awesome!
Love the round-up! There are so many great ideas. Falafel are one of my favorites, so I love this post! Pinned! Thank you for including my Falafel Curry ^.^
You’re so welcome! I’ve actually been drooling over that falafel curry for a few weeks now. :)

Thanks Liz! Your black bean falafel sounds awesome!
This is awesome!! I have been thinking for several weeks that I should make some falafel on the weekend so I can enjoy it in salad during the week. This is fabulous – and with the curry soup? Wow! Thank you!!!
Aren’t these ideas fantastic? Glad you like the post! I hope you get to enjoy some of the recipes. Thanks Christine!
