Really good, and my son ate it too! I picked up a tub of Tzatziki Sauce from Costco and the pitas turned out delicious.

Delicious way to make falafel. I added a tiny bit of oil to the mix. Made a great lunch.

LOVED these. I’ve never thought to make falafel at home, but this baked version seemed totally do-able. The falafel was creamy and savory, and came together in a snap. I did make the tahini/lemon sauce (I had to thin it out with a few tablespoons of water), and it was great, though I bet the tzatziki sauce mentioned by other reviewers would be a nice twist too. Thanks!

Very tasty and easy! I did add a few tablespoons of water to the paste, and a splash of lemon juice, as it was too dry. Also did the tzatziki sauce, instead of the lemon/tahini, which I didn’t care for. I’m a fry-a-phobe, so being able to bake these tasty treats was fantastic!

These were so delicious. And hard to believe they are healthy too! Thanks for this great recipe, I’ll be using it again and again.

These were so tasty! Made these along with Ina Garten’s tzatziki sauce and it was delicious! Just the right mix of wet and dry to make patties that stayed together. This will go in our regular rotation–it’s much easier to bake than fry the falafel.

For not being fried, these were great! They were a little on the dry side which made them a bit difficult to work with, but I’ve never made falafel myself before, so that might be exactly how they’re supposed to be. The taste was delicious — instead of the tahini sauce, which I’m sure is wonderful, we made tzatiki using: 1 peeled and shredded cucumber, 1 cup plain yogurt, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/4 tsp. salt. You could also add 1 tsp. fresh mint if you have it.

Overall, this was a great, healthy dinner, and my husband said he didn’t even miss the meat!

These were so, so good! Crispy on the outside and creamy, savory on the inside. I loved that I could enjoy falafel without having to consider how they’re a fried food. I served them with tzatziki which was a great cool accompaniment.
