Oven-Baked Falafel with Halloumi Salad

Now the sun has finally arrived, picnics, barbeques and al-fresco eating are all back on the menu and these Oven-Baked Falafel and Halloumi Salad is the perfect healthy option!  Staying on track when tempted by treats at outdoor parties and picnics can be a huge challenge for anyone. However, prepping a tub of these tasty falafel and having them in the fridge during the summer months is a great way to ensure you have a savoury treat on hand whenever the need arises. Gently spiced with Moroccan flavour and packed with protein-rich chick-peas, these are filling and moreish, without being highly calorific.  I've served them here with a roast vegetable and halloumi salad and a creamy mint dressing, but these are equally delicious packed into pitta breads with green leafy salad, on a bed of rice or cous-cous or even served as 'meatballs' on a bed of pasta with a rich tomato sauce.  Make it vegan!  The falafel themselves are already vegan (yay!)
