Falafel Loaf is a twist on the classic Middle Eastern dish of falafel, which are small balls or patties made from mashed chickpeas, herbs, and spices. This version combines the falafel mix with shredded carrots and onions to create a hearty and flavorful falafel loaf. The tomato sauce and egg whites help to hold the loaf together while the garlic and black pepper add an extra kick of flavor. This dish is perfect for a vegetarian-friendly main course or a protein-packed lunch option.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a loaf pan.
2.	In a large bowl, mix together the falafel mix, tomato sauce, water, and egg whites.
3.	Fold in the shredded carrots, chopped onions, garlic, and black pepper.
4.	Pour the mixture into the greased loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is fully cooked.
