So, I tried the eggplant falafel recipe and it was delicious! The spices and herbs were perfect. You would never know that the eggplant was in there, aside from the slightly creamier interior. It used almond flour to hold it all together and there were no eggs in it. The recipe called for the falafel balls to be baked, which I did, and they were good. However, I think that next time, I'll try deep frying them. I hate frying, but I think it will give the falafels a crispier skin.
Here's the recipe:
