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!

Hi friends! I’m excited to finally share this video (I’ve been working on this recipe for quite a while!). These falafel are delicious and have SO much flavor. But I’d love to hear…which method is your favorite to cook them? It’s always a toss up for me. 🙂 Hope you’re enjoying your summer! xo – Lisa
You were not kidding. This is the best falafel I’ve ever eaten. Great recipe!
What is roughly the Falafel yield from 1 cup dried chickpeas? Thank you.
I have to avoid oil for health reasons, do you think these would hold together in an air fryer?
@twirliegrrl21 Parsley is an alternative, you’d not have to add cilantro at all
The best falafel is the Egyptian one which made of beans
Here in Egypt, Falafel is the king on our breakfast table, I usually homemake it whether with “crushed beans” or “chickpeas”, and personally prefer to eat it with Harissa, tahini or tomatoes salad garnished with garlic and parsley .
But recently I developed a healthy recipe of Falafel, and I baked them in the over on a silicone mat without using oil.
Try to sprinkle some sesame seeds on top of your Falafel before putting it in the oven, the aftertaste of the roasted sesame seed will make the dish sheer heaven.
@Solutions Within I was soaking them, then boiling them – that was the problem.
@Maria Jose Garcia Don’t boil them – just soak 12-24 hours & food-process, add spices, mold & bake/fry. Gus Baz, above, gives full instructions.
Clarice Aust I did everything following the instructions, I didn’t boil the chickpeas I just soaked them overnight, but the mixture won’t bind together to form the patties , I don’t know if it needs more flour or same water
…silicone mat and topping with sesame seeds are great ideas.
Mine did fall apart once or twice even after adding chick pea flour so I’ve been adding the salt at the end right before frying so the mixture doesn’t give out water
I was just eating 2 falafel when your notification came through!
Oh funny! Great minds. 😉
This is SO well researched and thought out. Thank you so much for all of the time and energy put into this! I can’t wait to try it!!
Thank you Racquel! I hope you enjoy my recipe. 🙂
I am so glad u posted this!! they look healthy and delicious For the flour can I use a normal flour and if so how much?? because they don't have gluten free options in my country (where I live at least)
Yes, you can use any flour for the most part. And I’d try subbing on a 1:1 basis.
Very good..I personally use my air frier it takes 20 min on medium heat to cook .It is fluffy and much healthier.
@Downshiftology Thanks to you for all recipies.Hope you can do a healthy mayo please🙏🙏
Huda Ghassan I love my airfryer! Best thing everrrr
@THINK LIKE BAMBOO What air fryer do you have?
Honestly frying it in a bit of Advacado oil isn’t going to bring any real damage. The oil is designed to handle high heats without breaking down.
But she doesn’t need to deep fry it, a simple skillet works just as well.
And air fryer tend to remove the moisture of the center.
Thanks for sharing! I was wondering if i can make it with air frier thank you alot!
Oh my goodness! They look amazing! I’m travelling at the moment (Vancouver Island) but I’m definitely making these once I’m home!!!! Thank you 😊 xxx
Hope you enjoy them Lucie. And safe travels! x
I’m palestinian🇵🇸 my mom used to make this kind of tomato tahini sauce( chopped tomatoes,tahini, lemon juice, salt & maybe black pepper, few tablespoons of water) it goes really well with falafels so delicious and it makes swallowing falafels so much easier👌🏼😁💦
No one else can make any food as good as Mum 😀
How about garlic??
Oh gosh, boy, this is going to be yummiest thing of my week.
Thank you! 🤤❤️
ARFGHH!! RECIPE??!!!
gotta have the sauce! sounds great
I made it two times since you’ve uploaded the recipe .. it is absolutely delicious 😋Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
Tip for those who do not have chickpea flour; roast the dry chickpeas in the pan for a while, then cool it down and blend into powder. Then sift it through a sieve.
xx yy you can just buy chickpea flour
@Hasbeth Perez she roasts them first so they’re not raw. another channel the lady soaks them overnight first, then puts them into food processor.
Thank u so much. I was thinking to replace it with gram flour. Arent they same dnt knw🤷♀️
I used AP flour. Worked perfectly.
Might not even need to add any, at any rate. My batch didn’t. When my chickpeas were finished being processed and I spooned it out, I noticed that it was already holding together pretty well. It ended up being perfect.
Looks great. I will try this recipe. Thank you Miss beauty!
Using avocado oil for frying might be the most decadent thing that i have ever seen :’D
Totally agree. And I just unsubscribed from the channel.
Shalom 🇮🇱
@Moses D In the USA, sunflower oil can be more expensive than avocado oil. It depends on availability. The prices of avocado oil can be quite low here, because the market is oversaturated.
@taghreed rulia so what – she is a pro and so she has nice gear. Dont be jeallous.
@J T vegetable oil. Sunflower oil, for example.
for me as Arabic, I found using cardamon in falafel recipe interesting
I thought it would be coriander
Thank you so much for this recipe-I love falafels, also on salad. Your instructions are so simple and complete….going to go soak some chickpeas!
Enjoy this recipe Cathy 😊
How rich do you wanna be?
Me: rich enough to deep fry stuff in avocado oil
Avocado oil isn’t that expensive. Not anymore, at any rate. You can get 24 oz for $10 at Walmart. Cheaper than Smirnoff.
They sell Avocado oil at Grocery Outlet these days 🥑🥑🥑
What
how it is， never saw in my local super market Thailand.
@dan wheeler 😂sounds like goat poop.p
Just letting everyone know that herb stems are packed with flavour! ❤️ chuck those in too
Thanks for the quick tip! 🙂
Cilantro stims are yummy
I save herb stems in freezer to use in stock 🙂
And the stems are also packed with more nutrition than the leaf!
I tried this recipe and it turned out amazing! Thank you!
Glad you liked it! 😊
How many falafel did you make with these amounts of ingredients;
Looks so goood 🥰
I must finally try this! Looks so good. 🧆
I love them in a salad, I love them in a wrap, I love them plain… I make double batches bake instead of fry, and shape about a third as patties. Yum!
