If you’ve been looking for a healthier alternative to traditional falafel, Costco’s got something interesting in the refrigerated section. The Afia Sweet Potato & Kale falafel bowls bring a veggie-forward twist to the classic Middle Eastern favorite.
These frozen falafel bowls are made with smoked turmeric rice, sweet potato, kale, and raisins as the supporting star ingredients with a nice lemon vinaigrette to give it some flavorful zing. They come ready to heat and pack a hearty punch. The sweet potato & raisins add a subtle sweetness.
The falafel texture is pretty good – slightly crispy on the outside, though they definitely won’t be quite as crunchy as making them yourself at home or from a restaurant. This is definitely a veggie-forward dish.
