Critical Success Points

• • Prepare the falafel dough (step 2) – the texture should remain slightly grainy so the balls hold together.
• • Heat the oil to the right temperature (step 4) – oil that’s too cold makes the falafels greasy, too hot burns them.
• • Fry the falafels without overcrowding (step 5) – ensures an even golden crust.
• • Finish in the oven (step 6) – ensures interior cooking and a slightly crisp texture.

Safety Warnings

• • Handle hot oil with care; avoid splatters.
• • Use gloves or a long handle to remove the hot baking sheet from the oven.
