Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Zest and halve the lemon. Roughly chop the coriander and parsley (stalks and all). Trim and coarsely grate the carrot (no need to peel). Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Trim and thinly slice the spring onions.

2

Pop the chickpeas into a large bowl. Break them up with the back of a fork then add the carrot, lemon zest, coriander, the flour, chermoula spice, mango chutney and half of the parsley and half the spring onions. Season with salt and pepper. Squish together with your hands until mushy and the mixture sticks together. Keep to one side.

3

Chop the sweet potatoes into 2cm slices, then into 2cm wide chips. Pop on a baking tray. Halve the halloumi lengthways, then chop each half lengthways into roughly four 2cm wide pieces. Drizzle the sweet potato with oil and gently toss to coat. Roast in your oven until soft, 20-25 mins. Halfway through cooking, add the halloumi to the tray, turn the potatoes, then roast for the remaining time.

4

Shape the chickpea mix into five small balls per person. Flatten each ball gently to 2cm thick and pop on a plate. Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat and then fry the patties in the hot oil until golden on both sides. This should take around 2-3 mins on each side. Transfer to a baking tray and pop onto the bottom shelf of your oven for 10-15 mins.

5

Meanwhile, halve the tomatoes and pop them into a medium bowl. Add a glug of olive oil, the remaining parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Add a pinch of sugar, mix and set aside. Trim the root from the baby gem lettuce then halve lengthways. Thinly slice widthways. Put the yoghurt in a bowl and add the garlic (add less if you don't love raw garlic). Season with salt and pepper and a splash of water. Mix to a drizzling consistency.

6

Pop the naans in your oven for the last 4-5 mins of chip cooking time. Add three-quarters of the yoghurt to the tomatoes along with the baby gem lettuce and combine. Serve the naans with the salad on top, then the falafels. Serve the sweet potato and halloumi chips on the side. Drizzle the remaining yoghurt over the chips and then sprinkle on the zahtar and remaining spring onion. Cut any remaining lemon into wedges for squeezing over. Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the delicious mix of flavours, with the mango chutney addition to the falafel being particularly praised.
  • Ease of prep: Some found it time-consuming with multiple components, taking up to 1.5 hours; others felt it was straightforward despite the steps.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding more flour to bind the falafel mixture, as some found it too wet or mushy.
  • Portions: Many noted the generous portion size; consider using only half the naan or omitting either the sweet potato or halloumi.
  • Next-day meals: Leftover falafels were enjoyed cold for lunch the next day, with some saying it improved the flavour.
