      Love the recipe! The roasted garlic 👌 is a must try, and btw we use kale with the cilantro and parsley - though spinach is a great suggestion! Though our food processor broke last month, so it'll have to wait 😢. Anywho, great recipe as always! Keep it fresh, keep it Vegan ✌️

    I just made my second batch of falafels ever and these came out AMAZING! Thanks so much for the easy recipe and tips - I followed your refrigeration rule and it made a great difference. I opted to bake them, instead of frying. Little olive oil spray and done! Absolutely delicious. Crunchy on the outside and soft and tasty on the inside - my husband and I devoured 6 instantly 😂 Thanks again Andrew. Best ever.

    When I make falafel I always use dry one because i think they become more crispy, from the can they're muddy when frying. In the water I also put half of lemon juice to activate the bicarbonate and let the chickpeas rest for 12 hours ...after a good cleaning and boiling I put in my chickpeas mixture some sesame seeds !!!! Your recipe is very good, thank you for sharing 😇🙏, be safe.

    I love your presentation and especially your explanation with that added personal touch. Did you learn your skills in the kitchen from your mom? Your attention to detail everything from the slicing of onions for example. I’ve heard the way you slice onions changes depending on the dishes. I just discovered your site and I must say your presentation give a different nuance, especially as a melanated chef.
