Most Delicious Falafel Recipe (Fried or Baked)

Perfect recipe, balled these into 2oz flat patties and flash froze for storage, then pan fried in the cast iron from frozen. Paired with garlic lemon yogurt sauce and sumac onion cucumber salad on a pita. (Sumac onion salad recipe from Cooking With Ayeh - doubled seasonings and added a whole thin sliced cucumber in with the soaked red onion.)

Flavors were good but I didn’t have a food processor, just an electric chopper so I should have worked in sections.

My go to falafel recipe. Definitely on the drier side when baked.

Love the addition of the chili!

Didn't have cardamom so I subbed half ginger, half cinnamon. Left out the parsley and regretted it, but overall a delicious recipe! Pairs great with some tzatziki

I love this recipe. I didn’t everything exactly as written and was very pleased with the outcome. They taste just like what I’d get at a restaurant.

I’ve made them a couple of times. Lovely! I used mix of lentils, fava beans, chickpeas. Once even without chickpeas, with split Moong dal. Did not have time to fry-baked them. Delicious! I adjust spices and salt before baking. Just a tiny pinch of ready mixture. Absolute delight!

I cooked them in the air fryer at 350F for 15min. I used two egg whites for binding purposes, and regular flour instead of chickpea, because I didn't have it. I recommend roasting the garlic before adding it to the falafel, it was too strong raw. I added za'atar, made some tzatziki sauce, and had them in pita.

Love it! Will use a little more parsley next time and perhaps a bigger green chili. Loved the crisp outside and moist inside. Stuck together fine for me, I made sure to compress the mix before putting it in the frying pan so it doesn't fall apart.

I can't speak to the authenticity of this dish, just my personal preferences. To me, it has way too much Cilantro. I would definitely not do a whole bunch as the recipe calls for. It also needed a good bit more flour to make the balls stick together. Some minor tweaks and I'd definitely make this again. It does make plenty of leftovers so they're in the freezer for another day.

Super awesome falafel recipe and quite easy to make. The falafel was nice and crispy but still airy and moist on the inside.

Great! I baked them. I added 1 cup of onion instead if 1/2.

Made with homemade hummus. So great!
