Oven-baked falafel<\/strong> is a lower-calorie alternative for preparing the crispy chickpea balls<\/strong>. The falafel are of course prepared according to my family’s original recipe<\/a>, but then baked<\/strong> in the oven<\/strong> instead of in vegetable oil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make your own falafel in the oven<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I love falafel! These little crispy balls have been with me all my life and are one of my favorite dishes. They have to be crispy<\/strong> on the outside and juicy<\/strong> on the inside, otherwise I don’t like them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s why I was skeptical when I wanted to cook with friends and the idea of roasting the falafel in the oven <\/strong>came up. After all, frying makes the coating evenly golden brown<\/strong> and so nice and crispy<\/strong>. They could understand the argument, but I could also understand their argument to save a few calories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a little discussion, we left the frying oil in the bottle and preheated the oven. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The right ingredients for oven falafel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the original taste of falafel balls, it is important that you use fresh ingredients. But above all: use dried<\/strong> chickpeas! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dried chickpeas must be soaked in fresh water for at least 12 hours<\/strong>. With cooked chickpeas (from the tin) you would not get such a chunky, creamy<\/strong> mixture, but only a mushy<\/strong> one. And you can’t make falafel for the oven from a mushy mixture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had soaked the chickpeas overnight so we could get started straight away. And with so many hands, the baking tray was quickly filled with chickpea balls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparing falafel from the oven<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Preparation: Soak the chickpeas and get the remaining ingredients.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Wash, roughly chop and puree the ingredients.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Shape the balls for the oven and flatten a little.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Bake the falafel in the oven until crispy and then eat immediately.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Preparing oven falafel is really easy. You also save a few juicy calories and it doesn’t<\/strong> smell of frying oil! This is one of the things that convinced me even more to bake the chickpea balls in the oven until crispy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Don’t have an oven at home? Then try falafel from the hot air fryer<\/a>. The Airfryer is also ideal if you only want to prepare a small portion or if you want to heat up falafel. This is because falafel can be frozen<\/a> very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Have fun rolling the balls and then enjoy your meal. If you like the recipe, please leave me a comment and a rating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
