Ingredients for red rolls:
¾ cup sunflower seeds
2 beetroots
2 carrots
1 cup pistachios
¾ cup almonds
1 tbs cumin
bunch of cilantro
spring onion
lemon juice of ½ organic lemon
salt and pepper
Soak the sunflower seeds. Peel the beets and carrots, thinly slice them, salt them gently, place everything on the baking tray, and put the tray into a dehydrator and dehydrate for one hour at 115°F/46°C. If you will use an oven, bake the vegetables at 212°F/100°C for about one hour. Mix the vegetables while baking to keep their juiciness.
Add dehydrated vegetables to a food processor and mix them into little pieces. Place everything in a bigger bowl. Mix drained sunflower seeds, pistachios, and almonds in a food processor to get the texture of crumbs and add them to the vegetables. Add cumin, chopped cilantro, spring onion, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix the batter well. When you press the batch with your hands it should hold the shape. If the batter is not very juicy, you can add some water. Then form the balls of your preferred size. Dehydrate falafels for at least two hours at 115°F/46°C. Or you can bake them in an oven at 212°F/100°C for about one hour. In this case, balls will not be considered raw. They will lose some color in the oven, so make sure they are golden brown on all sides.
