Instructions
- Make Tzatziki Sauce in advance (see recipe on website) if you are planning to serve it with the falafel, and chill until ready to use.
- Place cauliflower florets in a food processor or blender, and process until finely grated and sticky. This should yield about 2 cups.
- Transfer to a large mixing bowl and add the rest of the ingredients, except avocado oil and tzatziki sauce.
- Mix well and shape into about 20 falafel balls or patties (patties will work better for pan-frying).
- Cook according to the instructions below and serve with homemade Tzatziki Sauce.
Oven Baked Method
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and generously grease a baking sheet with avocado oil (I used about 2 tbsp).
- Place the falafel in a single layer on the baking sheet and spray the top of the falafel balls with cooking oil.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then flip. Spray the other side with cooking oil and bake for 15 more minutes until golden and crispy.
Pan Fried Method
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add 2-3 tbsp of avocado oil.
- Add the falafel patties in a single layer (work in batches if you need to) and pan fry for 3 minutes.
- Flip, and cook for 2-3 more minutes until golden and crispy.
