Kebabs with a difference! You’ll love these falafel and Mediterranean roast vegetable skewers. Quick, easy and delicious these falafel kebabs are great at any time, but are particularly good as a vegetarian BBQ or grilling option.

A close up of four falafel and Mediterranean vegetable kebabs.

There’s a falafel truck in our local market that’s a frequent go-to for a street-food snack. Tasty and healthy these Middle Eastern spiced balls of crushed chickpeas are really versatile:  served in a flatbread, accompanying a salad or as here, on a skewer as a kebab with some roast vegetables.

But we don’t only enjoy falafels when we’re out and about. They make a great starting point for any meat-free meal, and an excellent vegetarian option for a BBQ. It’s a good idea to pop some foil down onto the grill so there’s no cross-contamination from any meat being cooked.

I’ve saved time here by using ready made: these are original falafels from Cauldron. They’re vegan, made without GM ingredients, and ready in only 12 minutes, which really helps when I need to get supper on the table quickly.

Cauldron also make Moroccan spiced falafel bites and Persian falafels, for when you want to ring the changes with some variety. The Persian falafels, like their originals, are vegan, while the Moroccan spiced variety contain honey, so are vegetarian.  Cauldron have been making falafels, vegetarian sausages and tofu for over 30 years.

How to make Falafel Kebabs

First Heat the oven to 200C/400F/GM6. Cut the onion, peppers and courgette into chunks, and place in a small roasting dish with the cherry tomatoes.

Drizzle with vegetable or olive oil, and season lightly with salt and pepper.

Second Roast the vegetables on their own for 12 minutes, to account for the different cooking times of the falafels and vegetables.

Third Thread the half roasted vegetables and falafels on wooden skewers. We used three falafels per skewer.

You need to take a little care because the vegetables are hot.

Four falafel And Mediterranean vegetable kebabs laid on a silicone mat on a baking tray, ready to be cooked.

Fourth drizzle with a little olive oil and bake the falafels in the oven for a further 12 minutes, or cook on a foil covered BBQ . Done!

Serve falafel kebabs with my Yogurt, Pomegranate Molasses, Mint & Tahini Dip and indulge in those rich and earthy Middle Eastern flavours.

It’s not just kebabs: there are plenty of other ways to use Cauldron falafels. For some more ideas with falafels ideas, head over to their website

It’s not kebab, it’s kabob!

Tomayto/tomato! The U.K. standard spelling is kebab. In the USA, it’s kabob. Whichever, cook and enjoy!

    Falafel kebabs? I would definitely enjoy these! It’s great that you can save some time by buying ready made falafel, isn’t it?

      I agree. Like puff pastry life is simply too short to make falafels. Especially when they are this good!

    Jinx! We both did the same with falafel. I feel I should punch you in the arm now (Playground thing. We were violent as children). They work so well on the BBQ or grill don’t they. We go through a ton of Cauldren falafel. Graham and Cooper eat them a lot at lunchtimes.

    I am often stumped when it comes to serving vegan food for barbecues. We have friend’s who have a vegan diet and it can be quite difficult. These would be ideal and no fussing about. .

    You know I grew up on middle eastern food because my dad was Lebanese but we never had falafel! Crazy huh. Anyway I love it and I wonder if they have these ready made falafel in the US? Looks yummy and healthy which I like!

      You will have to investgate, I’m more than sure there will be a brand that offer the same product as these.

    The falafel kababs not only look super but they also would be so much fun at a cookout. This meal would be great for a meatless dinner. You certainly wouldn’t feel as if you were being denied — not will all those delicious vegetables plus the spicy falafel. I wonder if we can get something similar in the states?
