I followed the recipe pretty closely, but I baked them for 20 mins at 400F instead of deep frying. They had a nice flavor and texture. I also made flat patties instead of little balls so they fit well inside a pita. Will definitely make these again.

This is very crumbly, I added 1 egg, still pretty loose and dry. Maybe needed another egg? Taste was great though. Some patties held together, some fell apart.

Excellent and very healthy recipe! I agree that you can probably use a bit less bread crumbs if you do decide to double the recipe. I used 30 oz of garbanzo beans tonight, and this served 5 adults perfectly with a few falafel for leftovers tomorrow. Also, 1/4 large red onion was plenty, and I added less cumin and a tsp of coriander. I also added one egg and a little Greek yogurt, and I baked falafel patties--about the size of mini burgers or sliders. Used crushed garlic from a jar instead of fresh. Baked at 350 or so for 10 minutes per side on a couple of cookie sheets covered with a thin layer of olive oil, and the falafel were still crispy enough on the outside without all of the grease. Served with a modified version of Greek Veggie Salad II and sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, and baby lettuce along with tahini sauce and roasted garlic hummus on the side. Delicious! Also good with a sauce of Greek yogurt, a little dill and lemon juice.

Great taste. I added an egg to ensure they held together in the pan, plus used the water trick for extra stickiness.

Great recipe, but I couldn't get it to bind. I added 2 egg whites and that did the trick.

This was a very good recipe. Like many reviewers, I added 1 egg to the mix (although you can just use water instead). I also added maybe 1/4 cup of water to the mix to get it to stick together (just enough to get it slightly doughy in texture). This turned out great, I would suggest either using a really small onion or maybe half of a medium one. Even finely diced, there was too much onion and it made it difficult to clump the balls together. Also like other reviewers have suggested, I think I will make patty shapes instead of balls next time, they're rather hard to fit into a pita pocket in that shape, and it's easier to fry in a pan this way. Altogether though an excellent falafel recipe. I will definitely be making this again.

This is my go-to falafel recipe. It seems to be necessary to add an egg to the recipe, though, or else you run the danger of your falafel disintegrating in the frying pan. Fresh herbs make a world of difference, but the falafel is still tasty without them. I usually pat the falafel circles flat and pan-fry them in a thin layer of olive oil. I've tried baking them but they aren't as flavourful.

I baked them, and they were perfect. Did 400 degrees for 15 mins on each side, 30 mins total.
