IKEA has partnered with The Tiny Chef Show to introduce new plant-rich falafel balls, inspired by its classic meatballs but with a vegan twist. Made with chickpeas, zucchini, onions, and spices, the falafel balls have a crispy exterior and a soft center, served with vegan aioli and cous cous with mixed vegetables. The collaboration features three short films showing The Chef visiting IKEA and trying to create the perfect falafel, aimed at inspiring people to rediscover the joy of cooking and plant-based eating.

The partnership with The Tiny Chef Show is part of IKEA's ongoing efforts to expand its plant-based menu options in support of sustainability. This collaboration follows past vegan partnerships, such as introducing meat-free hot dogs and plant-based sausages. The plant-rich falafel balls are available in IKEA stores worldwide, including as a kid-friendly option, with a cost of USD $4.99 for an eight-piece plate, and take-home packs are expected to be available in the near future.
