    Cuisine:

    These were yummy! Bit of a disaster trying to stuff the pitas, but the flavor of the falafels was soft and smooth. We had hummus, tzatizki (sp?), pickles, toms and cukes. I think next time I will put them in a wrap. used step 4, but added 1/2 tbsp more oil and baked at 425 for 25- 28 mins. Thanks!!

    Baked Falafel Balls, You will love these little falafel balls that are soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside without frying in oil! Serve in a pita with your favorite cucumber sauce , These were yummy! Bit of a disaster trying to stuff the pitas, but the flavor of the falafels was soft and smooth We had hummus, tzatizki (sp?), pickles, toms and cukes I think next time I will put them in a wrap used step 4, but added 1/2 tbsp more oil and baked at 425 for 25- 28 mins Thanks!!, I followed the advice of previous reviewers and skipped step 4 I also doubled the spices as was suggested These were ok, probably won’t do again The spices were a bit overpowering, plus the balls did not really taste like falafel, something was missing in the mix of spices
