Fast Falafel fixes for the most common texture and doneness misses.
Use these fixes after a first attempt, then change only one variable at a time so you can tell what improved the next batch.
Lower the next batch by 10-15°F or start checking Falafel 2 minutes earlier. Keep pieces even in size and rest meat before slicing.
Pat dry, avoid overcrowding, and add a light oil mist only after seasoning so airflow can crisp the surface.
Drop the temperature one step, use the lower time range, and move sugar-heavy marinades or sauces to the final minutes.
Split thicker pieces, preheat when recommended, and add short 1-2 minute bursts instead of restarting a full cook cycle.
