<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nServing Falafel for Baby Led Weaning<\/h2>\n Once you bake the falafels you can use the remaining chickpeas you have to make a tasty hummus dip. I love to serve falafels with hummus, they just kind of belong together. We also like to serve fresh or grilled veggies alongside our falafel. This will round out a nice vegan baby led weaning recipe. Oh! and I almost forgot to mention, you can bake a double batch of these falafels because once they cool completely (if you don’t eat them all), they freeze nicely in a freezer bag. Boom! Healthy snacks for tomorrow!<\/p>\n
