How to Make Air Fryer Falafel (Oil Free, Gluten Free, Plant Based)

Soak 1 cup of dry chickpeas overnight in water.

In the morning, drain the chickpeas and place them in a food processor.

Add 2 tablespoons of red onion, 2 tablespoons of tahini, 0.5 teaspoon of cumin, 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of turmeric, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of pepper to the food processor.

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F or the oven to the same temperature.

Puree the mixture in the food processor until it looks goopy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.

Wet your hands to prevent sticking, then take a handful of the mixture and form it into a ball.

Place the falafel balls into the air fryer or on a silicone baking sheet if using an oven.

Cook in the air fryer for 10 minutes, checking for desired crispness, or in the oven for 15 minutes.
