Curried Falafel with Kale Salad

Falafel are wonderful, deep-fried delights that I could pop like candy. However, I don’t own a deep fryer—but I do have an oven! These baked sensations—which acquired the moniker Goldenballs during development—are hit with rich curry, adding spiciness and a faux deep-fried hue. Tahini dressing, a falafel requisite, is imbued with the same sunshiny curry powder, as well as maple syrup, lending a caramel-like sweetness that melds beautifully with a simple salad of kale, carrots, and cucumbers
