THE BEST FALAFEL RECIPE | crispy fried and baked falafel (vegan)
Are you ready for the best falafel you've ever tasted (whether fried or baked)? Falafel are delicious balls of chickpea and herb goodness that you find in Middle Eastern cooking.
I've had my fair share of falafel on travels through Egypt, Israel and Jordan. I've had them in restaurants and on street corners (the best authentic street food). I've had them stuffed in gluten-free pita and on salads. And I've had them with slight variations and tweaks, though the recipe itself is fairly simple.
But here's how you make the best falafel recipe - add tons of herbs (double the normal amount) and a small amount of green pepper. This makes for an addictive flavor that's a little something extra but not spicy. Just insanely delicious.
Falafel are naturally vegan and vegetarian. You can then deep fry the falafel, pan fry or make baked falafel. It's up to you! Just don't forget to drizzle with my tahini sauce. ;) Enjoy!

Homemade Falafel
Makes 18-20 1-inch falafel
INGREDIENTS
2 cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 cup red onion, chopped
¼ cup parsley
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup bread crumbs
Oil, for frying
Optional
Pita bread
Tomatoes
Cucumber
Lettuce
Pickles
Hummus
Tahini sauce
PREPARATION
To the bowl of a 2-quart food processor, add chickpeas, onion, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, and spices. Pulse the ingredients together until they are just incorporated and form a wet paste. Be careful not to over-blend ingredients.
Transfer the chickpea mixture to a large mixing bowl and add bread crumbs, mixing until just incorporated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
Remove the chilled falafel mixture from the refrigerator and being shaping it into balls. The mixture should yield 18 to 20 1-inch falafel balls.
In a large frying pan with high sides, heat about 1-inch of oil for frying.
Heat the oil over high heat, and fry falafel balls for 3 minutes, flipping halfway. Once golden brown and crispy, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate.
Plate falafel as desired, either as a sandwich, salad topping, or over a bed of greens with a side of tahini sauce.
Enjoy!

What's the BEST Falafel Recipe?
Falafels are a Middle Eastern specialty consisting of small, fried croquettes or balls made from chickpeas. Spices, onions, and parsley. They are commonly served as an appetizer or inside pita bread with garlic or tahini sauce. The best part about falafel is that they are simple to make.
Falafel ingredients and flavors will differ depending on what country you are in and who is making it. For example, in Egypt, fava beans are used instead of chickpeas. However, there are also Governorates in Lebanon that use a combination of both garbanzo beans and fava beans. I loved the flavors for this recipe using both beans, but you can use just 1 or the other if that is all you have access to.

Ingredients for this recipe:
• 1 ½ dry garbanzo beans
• 1 ½ dry shelled and split fava beans
• 1 medium-sized peeled and roughly chopped yellow onion
• 5 trimmed garlic cloves
• ½ bunch roughly chopped green onions, root end trimmed
• 1 medium-packed cup flat leaf Italian parsley leaves
• ½ medium-packed cup cilantro leaves
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 tablespoon sea salt
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
