🧆 Air Fryer Falafel 🥙

Falafel is a chickpea based meatless dish originating from Egypt. They can be a healthy vegan option, but are unfortunately often deep fried. These falafel are either air fryer or baked, simple and cheap to make, and full of flavor. Nutrition facts are for each small falafel ball

Step 1

With a strainer, drain and rinse your can of chickpeas. Add to a parchment lined cookie sheet, and roast at 400F for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chickpeas are dry and slightly cracked

Step 2

Meanwhile, dice your onion, and add to a food processor. Add in the roasted chickpeas, and lightly pulse a full time to chop and combine. Don't over-blend, you want it to be a little bit coarse. Here is the texture you're looking for

Step 3

Add the rest of the ingredients to the food processor, and pulse to combine and chop the cilantro. Be careful not to over-blend

Step 4

Using a cookie scoop (mine is 1 tbsp), scoop the batter into a parchment lined cookie sheet. Roll into balls (refrigerating for at least 30 minutes makes this step easier)

Step 5

Air fry at 375F for 12 minutes, flipping halfway. Alternatively, bake in a preheated 375F oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway

Step 6

Eat the falafel as is, put on a wrap with hummus (check out my red lentil wraps and roasted beet hummus), or crumble over a salad
