dionysusaur: Air fry them?
You can try air frying. You can try baking.
Fried in oil is the best. Made it just last night.
Remember, dry beans that are soaked. If you use canned beans you end up with weird fried hummus.

WickerNipple: If you do them flat instead of ball shape you can fry them in a very shallow amount of oil.
That is what I was going to do however while I never made true falafel, I have made chickpea "burgers" before (so essentially the same thing). They were delicious but a mess texturally. I was just trying to avoid that but I'm guessing I either has too much moisture in the patties or I didn't use enough oil.

flucto: is it the word "deep" that bothers you because you could just pan fry them.
Mainly trying to go for healthier options. I always have plenty of olive oil around so pan frying would definitely work. Was thinking of a combo of baking/broiling but I suppose there needs to be some oil in there so I don't think I'll go that route afterall.

I think I may have used the canned variety when I made my chickpea "burgers" and yeah it was a hot mess. I wasnt looking for anything super crisp by any means but weird fried hummus sums it up exactly what I ended up with

Honestly, if you want the falafel from Kenji's recipe, you're only going get it with pan/deep frying. They're delicious.
Using an air fryer will get you an ok result, but not the deep brown crisp exterior that frying will.
If you're really looking to avoid the oil involved with frying, then I'd fins more of a fritter recipe that you can saute in a pan. I'm not sure Kenji's recipe will work for that though since it's a very loose mix and would probably fall apart.

Textural mess or not, y'all have more advanced cooking skills than I do. I just buy boxed falafel mix. I add water, stir, start heating the oil. Let the mix sit 10 or 15 minutes. Shape it into patties and fry it. I've never made falafel from scratch. I always imagined it required grinding dried beans into meal, processing that somehow, and then adding seasoning.

Dude it all goes in the blender except if you want a "binder". The blender don't give a shiat about anything. Nice tool, that blender.
I get the stuff out of the blender, add just a little liquid maybe if needed, put it in a bowl and add a couple spoons of flour (you can also buy bonzo flour to stay gluten free) and mush iat all together. It helps keep it all together but makes it a little more fritterish.
This allows for the flat little nuggets and less oil that they're talking about up thread. You should chill it for a bit to let it form up before frying.
I always have shallots or red onion and parsley in the blend. It helps tie the room together

Yup, you don't need to deep fry. Just a pan fry in a little bit of oil in a cast iron pan will do it. I used to make chicken and waffles all the time, and that was the technique I used for finishing them. Deep frying doesn't have the concentrated heat to get that super crispy skin. ;)

I applaud that. I'd still fry them. Mmmm
