I like that the falafel are baked instead of pan-fried. I have made falafel before that fall apart in the pan. From a borrowed library book "The ultimate book of vegan cooking". Instead of cooking soaked chickpeas by boiling you may prefer to pressure cook them. Gluten-free if gf ingredients are used. Can be served with a salad, on pita bread or with tahini. Cooking time does not include overnight soaking of the beans.

These falafel are a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try baking them instead of frying them next time.

These falafel were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.

The falafel didn't hold together very well. I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but they just fell apart when I tried to eat them.

These falafel were a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll add some more moisture next time, maybe some grated vegetables or a little bit of oil.
