Frequently Asked Questions About Gluten-Free Falafel Burger
What is in a gluten-free falafel burger?
A gluten-free falafel burger usually has a patty made from chickpeas, herbs, onion, garlic and spices. When served as a sandwich, it may also include a gluten-free bun, vegetables and sauce. Recipes vary, so the patty and bun do not always come together.
How do you make a gluten-free falafel burger at home?
To make a gluten-free falafel burger, pulse soaked chickpeas with herbs, onion, garlic and spices until the mixture is coarse, then shape it into patties and cook them. Serve in a gluten-free bun with vegetables and sauce; avoid using wheat flour or ordinary breadcrumbs as binders.
Why does a gluten-free falafel burger patty fall apart?
A gluten-free falafel burger patty often falls apart when its mixture is too wet, too finely blended or not given time to firm up. Drain the chickpeas well, keep the mixture slightly coarse, chill the shaped patties, and let one side brown before turning.
Can you bake a gluten-free falafel burger instead of frying it?
Yes, you can bake a gluten-free falafel burger patty instead of frying it. Arrange the patties on a lightly oiled baking tray and turn them once so both sides brown. Baking usually gives a drier crust than pan-frying, so avoid overcooking them.
What sauce goes best with a gluten-free falafel burger?
Tahini-lemon sauce is a classic match for a gluten-free falafel burger, while hummus or garlic yogurt also works well. For a vegan version, choose tahini sauce or plant-based yogurt. Make sure any sauce or condiment you use is gluten-free too.
What should you serve with a gluten-free falafel burger?
Serve a gluten-free falafel burger with a chopped salad, pickles, roasted vegetables or oven-baked potatoes. A crisp salad with lemon balances the seasoned chickpea patty, while keeping the side simple lets the burger remain the main part of the meal.
How do you keep a gluten-free falafel burger from getting soggy?
Keep a gluten-free falafel burger from getting soggy by storing the patty, bun, vegetables and sauce separately until serving. Toasting the bun and adding sauce just before eating also helps, especially if the burger is being packed for lunch.
How long does a cooked gluten-free falafel burger keep in the fridge?
A cooked gluten-free falafel burger patty keeps for up to three days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Refrigerate it within two hours of cooking, and store the bun and fresh toppings separately so they do not become soft.
Can you freeze gluten-free falafel burger patties?
Yes, gluten-free falafel burger patties can be frozen after cooking. Let them cool completely, separate them with baking paper, and seal them in an airtight container. Thaw and reheat the patties thoroughly; add fresh buns and toppings only when ready to serve.
Is a gluten-free falafel burger a healthy meal?
A gluten-free falafel burger can be a filling meal because its chickpea patty provides plant protein and fiber. Deep-frying, large portions of sauce and heavily topped buns can make the meal richer, so baked patties, plenty of vegetables and a modest amount of sauce make a balanced serving.

What is Gluten-Free Falafel Burger?
A Gluten-Free Falafel Burger brings falafel—a Middle Eastern preparation traditionally made from chickpeas, herbs and spices—into burger form. The seasoned mixture is shaped into a patty and served in a gluten-free bun, often with vegetables and sauce.
Expect a crisp exterior and a tender, warmly spiced centre. It works as a casual lunch or dinner, with salad, pickles or roasted potatoes alongside; tahini or a tangy sauce complements its savoury flavour. It provides plant protein and fibre, with 8.4 g of protein and 5.8 g of fibre per 100 g. For a lighter plate, add extra salad and go easy on the sauce.
