Raw Falafel Submitted by Claire Walters - Raw Blend

Method

1. Chop your carrots in your Vitamix container until they are nearly a paste. Make sure to use high speed, drop them in through the lid and use your tamper if needed.
2. Add in your sunflower seeds, ground flax seeds, garlic, spices and blend on high speed using your tamper effectively to push all the ingredients down to the blade.
3. Turn your machine off and add in the onion and parsley and blend on high speed using your tamper effectively to push all the ingredients down to the blade. It doesn’t matter if there are still some large chunks of parsley or onion.
4. Pour into a bowl your sesame seeds, add the Falafel mixture and combine the sesame seeds and Falafel mixture by hand.
5. Roll 1 Tbsp at a time into Falafel balls, then place directly onto the dehydrator sheets and dehydrate for 2-12 hours depending on how moist you prefer them on the inside. The longer you dehydrate, the more crisp they will be on the outside.
