For a richer flavor, use olive oil spray instead of cooking spray. Roasting your own garlic adds depth. Simply wrap garlic cloves in foil with a drizzle of olive oil and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until soft. Feel free to adjust the spices to your liking. A pinch of smoked paprika can add a wonderful smoky note. To keep the waffled falafel warm, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet in a preheated 200°F (95°C) oven until ready to serve. Serve with warm pita bread, hummus, tzatziki sauce, chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a complete and satisfying meal.

Pulse, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally, until falafel batter resembles a coarse meal. Pour batter into a bowl and stir with a fork.
