Beet Falafel Patties
I am loving these Beet Falafel Patties. They are loaded with vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants and flavor…plus, they are baked not fried! You can eat them on a bed of greens or in a pita.

Notes
Remove leaves and stems, place beets on parchment paper, add 1/4 cup water, and fold into a packet. Wrap packet again with foil. Cook on grill over high heat, so that beets steam inside packets, for 90 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool, peel and cut into small pieces.
