No-Fuss Falafel image

Simple, easy, and delicious falafel - no breaking apart or spattering while frying! Try serving with pita, parsley and hummus or tahini sauce! Falafel is best when it is fresh. However, if you have leftovers, heat in a single layer in the oven to maintain crispiness.

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained
¾ cup chopped fresh parsley
½ onion, chopped
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon lemon juice
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 ½ cups vegetable oil for frying, or as needed

Steps:

  • Place garbanzo beans, parsley, onion, flour, garlic, cumin, baking powder, coriander, salt, lemon juice, and black pepper in a food processor or blender. Pulse until combined and a chunky, slightly sticky mixture forms.
  • Roll mixture into small balls and place on a plate. Flatten into patties that are 2 inches in diameter and 1/2-inch thick.
  • Place patties in refrigerator or freezer to help hold together, about 10 minutes.
  • Heat 1 1/2- to 2-inches vegetable oil in large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Fry patties, working in batches to avoid crowding, until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Drain patties on paper towel-lined plate.

I'm always looking for new falafel recipes to try and this one didn't disappoint. The falafel were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and they had a great flavor.

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

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my falafel turned out really dense and hard. I think I might have overcooked them.

I found that the falafel didn't hold together very well. I had to be really careful when frying them, or they would fall apart.
