Totally delicious - I baked half and did half in the pan. Both ways are great.
These are really good! They just crumbled a little, like the patties don't stay a lot together, but still good to enjoy right away!
Hi, I made these falafels but they turned out to be very bitter. I had to throw them all out 😢 Could it be from my chickpea flour? Cause it was from a pre-opened package (kept in a jar from a year ago😅)?
My falafels are very dry and they crack when I put them in air fryer and on the pan they are braking. What did I do wrong?:(
These came out really well in my air fryer. The only thing I need to figure out is why my mixture was a little too crumbly….I had to be very delicate in moving the precooked ones to the fryer.
I loves this recipe, easy,fast and delicious. I used them in different versions,bowl,wrap... I loved the freshness of the herbs!
OMG best falafel ever! Perfectly paired with your tzatziki recipe. Thank you!!
Absolutely loved these! ❤️
if I want to freeze these, should I make, fry and then freeze them? Or just make the falafels and freeze them ‘raw’. Thanks for all these nice recipes 😊
Could you please make a falafel video.
Amazing
It was super good and easy to make!
Could you share us some recipes for plant-based protein-packed balls cooked in the oven? Like including crushed tofu, beans, peas as main ingredients. I find some vegan balls in grocery stores, I'd like to make some at home to save more money.
I made these ahead of a busy week and they are a game changer! I like how simple they were to make and they are versatile enough that it didn't feel like like I was eating the same thing every day. My favourite way to eat the was crumbled over a salad like some protein-packed croutons :)
I loved these falafels! They were incredible! 😁
