Air Fryer Falafel
These Air Fryer Falafel are crispy, herbaceous, and incredibly easy to make. They are much less oily but still super crispy. Now, I will never deep-fry them again!
Ingredients
- 2 cups dried chickpeas
- 2 cups fresh parsley, cilantro, dill, or mint leaves (or a combination of all four)
- 1 small onion
- 5 cloves garlic
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 teaspoons salt
Instructions
- Add the dried chickpeas to a large bowl and rinse with water. Fill the bowl with enough water to cover the chickpeas by three times their size. Let the chickpeas rehydrate at room temperature for at least 12 hours.
- To a food processor, add the chickpeas, fresh herbs, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, and salt. Pulse until very finely blended. You should be able to squeeze a handful of the filling into a ball and it should stay together.
- Refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes. This will make the falafel hold their shape better when we shape them.
- Shape the falafel into balls and set aside.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Arrange the balls in the air fryer with some space between them. Spray with a generous amount of oil. Air-fry for 18-22 minutes until brown and crispy.
