  It is much easier if you change the order of the ingredients. Put the garlic in the food processor first and chop, then put in the onions until chopped then add the beans. This makes the recipe much easier...AVOID CHOPPING! - 4/11/13

  Why do SP chefs routinely use confusing stock images instead of photos of the actual recipe? The depicted falafel are clearly random deep-fried ones, and look nothing like what the recipe outcome is. How hard can it be?
  Come on... - 2/12/13

  There is mention in the directions that a serving is one ball, but to feel free to eat more than one. One is 66 calories. 4 is still only 264, still easily within what a meal should be. People who are saying the is misleading are just too lazy to pay attention.
  
  Yummy recipe. Don't skip the parsle - 9/6/12

  Very good and very easy. I would add more lemon and parsley to make it a little more zesty. I used canned chick peas (no fava beans). Who knew falafel could be so easy and low-calorie? - 2/20/12

  I made these with all chickpeas, no favas. It looked like an awful lot of coriander and cumin when I was putting this together, but it turned out to be just fine. I did add a bit of cayenne, but no lem zest. The parsley was key and I used a lot! All in all, pretty tasty served with cuke and tomato. - 7/15/12

  For better and more authentic textured falafel, don't cook the chickpeas, just soak them overnight in water and then use them without cooking. - 4/11/13

  I was out of onions (of all things!) so used a carrot to add some heft back into the mix. I didn't use the oil at all but just sprayed my pan so they didn't look as crunchy as the picture. Yum! Served over salad w/lemon tahini sauce (lightened version). Will make again! - 3/20/12

  Amazingly delicious - threw everything into the food processor, used gluten free flour and some Cayenne and curry - took like 15 mins from 2 cans of chick peas to awesome patties...thanks!

  in some other countries the fava bean is called broad bean. This may help some who have never heard of it. - 1/20/13

  So tasty. I didn't find the herbs were overpowering, I actually added extra. I also used only chickpeas (canned) and it was so quick and easy to make. My husband loved them too. - 1/10/13

  Do you use dried (and cooked) fava beans or do you use fresh favas? - 5/26/11

  I used dried because fresh were out of season. You could use either.

  My son said it was "ok" (though he didn't want to eat any more than the 1 ball I made him try at lunch), my husband didn't like them at all. I thought the seasonings were overpowering. :( It was nice to try something new though. - 2/18/12

  I cut back on the cumin a little and it was YUMMY! I had to bake them less, because my oven is small. Served it with a cup of basmati rice and a tahini-lemon sauce, to which I added dill. Good thing I made two batches of batter and kept the 2nd refrigerated to bake tommorow! - 3/5/13

  After reading the comments below I decided to try adding a carrot to the mix - and it was fab! I added just under a tablespoon of oil to the mix but didn't coat them with any extra when I baked them. They still came out fine but a little dry. Would serve with a sauce anyway. It's a keeper! - 12/9/12

  I made this for lunch today and it was a hit with my husband. He said you can make this again whenever you want. It is so easy and tasty. I was able to get 26 servings out of one recipe. Three fit into one half pita. I also made the lemon tahini dressing all was very good. - 4/12/13

  Delicious! I skipped the lemon zest (still tangy with just the juice) and added cayenne. I used Gluten-free AP flour - a bit more than 1/4 cup. Used dried/cooked chickpeas only. Next time, I will make 2 batches and freeze. I had no idea that falafel were so easy to make myself! - 1/6/13

  The batter for the falafels tasted pretty great, but following these directions, I ended up with very gooey insides. I know now that I needed to add a bit more flour. - 9/8/12

  Hubby & I huge fans of falafel.... this fit the bill!We loved it! The extra lemon was faboo, and the spices were perfect. Used all chick peas in ours, and I mashed them into patties to ensure even cooking. Served with tzatziki. Delish! Thank you! - 6/12/14

  very good. served with tzatziki, tomato, pita, lettuce, and feta. next time i'll make a few adjustments-a little less cumin and garlic, more parsley. love the lemon flavor in these. also, the temp and cook times don't work for my oven, so adjust according to your settings. oil isn't necessary. - 8/23/12
