tahini

🥗Healthier: sunflower seed butter

oil for frying

🥗Healthier: air fryer

💰Cheaper: baking

Air frying reduces oil use while still achieving crispiness.

Soak chickpeas in water overnight or for at least 8 hours.

Drain and rinse the soaked chickpeas.

Blend chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, baking powder, flour, salt, and pepper in a food processor until coarse.

Form the mixture into small balls or patties.

Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the falafel in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove falafel and drain on paper towels.

Serve with tahini sauce, lemon juice, and pita bread.

Add fresh vegetables for garnish.

Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
