No need to soak dry chickpeas overnight for this quick recipe, which is gluten free and lower carb if you substitute ground almonds or almond flour for wheat flour, as I do. All you need is an air fryer to make delicious, crispy, healthier falafel.

Ingredients

  • chickpeas: 1 can (15.5 ounce can, drained)
  • yellow onion: 1 piece (chopped)
  • fresh cilantro: 0.5 cup (chopped)
  • fresh parsley: 0.5 cup (chopped)
  • almond flour: 2 Tbsp
  • garlic: 3 clove
  • ground cumin: 2 tsp
  • cayenne pepper: 1 tsp
  • baking powder: 0.5 tsp
  • coarse salt: 0.5 tsp
  • ground black pepper: 0.5 tsp
  • baking soda: 0.25 tsp
  • pinch ground nutmeg: 1 piece
  • sesame oil cooking spray:

  1. Pour chickpeas into the basket of a large air fryer. Cook at 220 degrees F (104 degrees C) until mostly dry, about 15 minutes. Check after 10 minutes of cooking; all liquid should be evaporated and chickpeas should still be squishy, not toasted or hardened. Turn air fryer off.

  2. Transfer chickpeas to a food processor. Add onion, cilantro, parsley, almond flour, garlic, cumin, cayenne, baking powder, salt, pepper, baking soda, and nutmeg. Process on medium-high speed until a chunky paste forms.

  3. Refrigerate mixture to let flavors develop and to enable more drying, at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour.

  4. Form mixture into 1 1/4-inch balls. Place in the air fryer basket and spray with sesame oil spray; be careful, falafel will be delicate.

  5. Set the air fryer to 320 degrees F (160 degrees C) and cook for 10 minutes. Coat with more sesame oil if desired, increase temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and cook until outsides are toasted, about 10 more minutes.
