What is Premade Falafel?
You can get Premade falafel as both uncooked or precooked and they come in the form of chilled or frozen falafel balls. They are packaged in boxes or plastic packs and found at nearly every grocery store.
As these falafel are stored cold, you will find them in the refrigerator section, along with other vegan and vegetarian products.
What to keep in mind when opting for premade falafel?
Just like with falafel mixes, you would want to have a quick read through the ingredient list for any unwanted additives and shop for additional items to convert your falafel from snack to meal.
In addition, frozen falafel shouldn’t be used to prepare dishes that you want to impress family and friends with as the balls lose their crunch through cooling and freezing.
This is especially true if you decide to air fry your falafel. If you own an air fryer and want to air fry frozen falafel, your falafel will get even less crunchy unfortunately. So make sure to have some delectable sides ready.
This may be true for sauces as well. Although some packages have their own sauces, it can never hurt to buy one you know you like.
How to cook frozen falafel?
Cooking premade falafel is easy when you prepare it according to packaged instructions. This takes: less than 3 minutes in a microwave; about 4 minutes over your stove top; around 10 minutes in an air fryer; and at most 15 minutes in an oven.
Luckily, there’s nothing more to it!
