For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the mixture. To prevent the falafel from falling apart during frying, chill the shaped balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Serve the falafel immediately for the best texture and flavor. They can also be reheated in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 10-15 minutes.
