Best Crock Pot Falafel Recipes

CROCK POT FALAFEL

Steps:

• Process the onion in a food processor until it's very finely chopped. (My family doesn't like onion chunks).
• Add the spices, egg, garlic and lemon juice. Process until mixed.
• Drain the beans and add to the food processor. Process with just a few pulses leaving some beans in chunks.
• Transfer bean mixture to a bowl and add bread crumbs. It will be wet and sticky so you can form it into balls.
• Pour the 2 Tablespoons of olive oil in the bottom of your crock pot.
• Form bean mixture into golf ball size balls and flatten slightly.
• Dip each side into the olive oil and nestle into the bottom of your crock pot. It's ok if they overlap or lay on top of each other.
• Cook on high for 3 1/2 hours or until golden brown.
• Layer into a pita or corn tortilla with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and tangy ranch dressing.

CROCK POT FALAFEL

Steps:

• Place all ingredients except olive oil and GF bread crumbs into a food processor. Pulse and process until mixture is smooth. Pour into a bowl, add GF breadcrumbs and mix well by hand. Make into golf ball sized falafel balls. Spray each ball with olive oil spray. Add 2-3 T of olive oil in the slow cooker. Place falafel balls in the slow cooker. Turn on high for about 3 hours until crispy. ( Trust me it works).
• I couldn't help peeking at the balls every half hour. I took a picture after about 1 hour I noticed the crock pot became somewhat scorched on the side from the oil. I let them contimie for the full 3 hours.When I first removed the falafel from the crock pot, I have to admit that it looked funny. But they smelled amazing.
• After just one bite, my husband said, " Wow," " this is really good; make this again" . What else is there to say?
• Eat with a gluten free wrap or on a plate. ( If you are not gluten free enjoy with pita bread)
• Top with humus, Greek yogurt, tsaziki, etc.
