      These were yummy! Bit of a disaster trying to stuff the pitas, but the flavor of the falafels was soft and smooth. We had hummus, tzatizki (sp?), pickles, toms and cukes. I think next time I will put them in a wrap. I used step 4, but added 1/2 tbsp more oil and baked at 425 for 25- 28 mins. Thanks!!

      I followed the advice of previous reviewers and skipped step 4. I also doubled the spices as was suggested. These were ok, probably won't do again. The spices were a bit overpowering, plus the balls did not really taste like falafel, something was missing in the mix of spices.

      Thought these turned out very yummy. Also skipped step 4 and used whole wheat bread crumbs. Used baking paper in the oven. Loved the texture the bulgur gave the finished product!

      I also skip step 4 and double the spices and these are fantastic! They hold together well enough to make 'burger' patties from as well. Yum!

      I don't like leaving low ratings, but this just didn't turn out that great for me. I was really hopful about this one too! I followed the recipe exactly and agree these definately need some more spice! Right out of the oven they were more hard on the outside then "crispy". So I tried them again the next day and found them very dry and grainy. Maybe adding a splash of oil to the mix would help.

      Very Good. Definately needs to cook an extra 15 minutes as suggested by a previous user. I used a small icecream scoop to portion and shape the falafels. I served these with a garlic tahini sauce from Emril.

      I followed the recipe as stated, but the inside of the balls was like mush. It was almost the same texture as baby food. I would not make these again. Sorry!

      I really like this one! I'm making it pretty regularly, especially now that it's too hot to turn the oven on more than once a week. I normally double the recipe, and refrigerate the extra. (I four-fle the chickpeas, freeze the extra of those.) It's definitely a season-to-taste dish - as written is pretty bland by my taste. Also, I use 1/4 cup wheat germ instead of the bread crumbs.

      My first attempt at falafel and they came out pretty good! They were a bit dry so next time I will omit step 4 as previously suggested. Thanks for sharing! Made for ZWT3.

      This recipe doubled really well, but I think that it needs just a little bit more cumin and garlic. It was a perfect addition to my toothpick buffet on New Year's Eve.

      I solved the dry problem completely by accident! I was on the phone while I was putting this together, and completely forgot about step 4 (sweating the onions and garlic.) I ran them though the food processor,and just kept on adding ingredients. We thought all was lost when I remembered the forgotten step 4, after I placed them in the oven. However, they were crunchy on the outside, and almost creamy on the inside, with a bit more of a bite than the sauted onions and garlic. I think we'll just omit step 4 from now on. Thanks for posting this recipe! I would have never thought to cook them in the oven instead of frying on the range. This saves a TON of cleanup and quite a few calories.

      These turned out nice and held together well. They were a little dry, but good mixed in with my eggplant casserole(with tomato sauce). I imagine this would be good in a pita with a creamy dressing. Thank you Geema!
