Yes, you can certainly fry them if you prefer to go that route. To do so, carefully place each falafel patty into some hot oil in a large frying pan. To avoid overcrowding the pan, fry the falafel bites in small batches. Flip them continuously throughout the frying process for 2 to 3 minutes, or until evenly browned on all sides. Transfer them carefully to a paper-towel lined plate to soak up excess oil.
