1
Shallow fry falafel
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons oil on medium until shimmering. Make 2 to 3-inch patties with falafel batter by gathering a large spoonful, rolling into a ball and flattening with your hands (should make about 12 patties). Fry patties until golden brown on both sides and warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Do this in batches, if necessary. Remove from heat and drain on paper towels.
