Crispy Homemade Falafel

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Homemade Falafel.

1. Step 1

   To create delicious and crispy garbanzo bean patties, start by placing your drained garbanzo beans, a quarter cup of panko bread crumbs, chopped onion, a quarter cup of olive oil, an egg, dried parsley, curry powder, garlic powder, lemon juice, and a sprinkle of ground black pepper into a food processor or blender.

2. Step 2

   Blend everything together until you achieve a coarse crumble texture.

3. Step 3

   If you find the mixture is a bit too moist, don’t worry—just add a little more panko bread crumbs until it reaches the perfect consistency.

4. Step 4

   Once your mixture is ready, take a handful and shape it into golf ball-sized balls, placing them on a plate.

5. Step 5

   Next, gently flatten each ball into a patty and give them a nice coating on both sides with some extra panko bread crumbs for that delightful crunch.

6. Step 6

   Now, it’s time to heat about an inch of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

7. Step 7

   When the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully add your patties to the skillet.

8. Step 8

   Fry them until they turn a beautiful golden brown and crispy, which should take about three minutes on each side.
