How to cook deliciously - Air Fryer Falafel

1. Stage

In a food processor, pulse onion, cilantro, parsley, and garlic, scraping down sides, until roughly chopped. Add chickpeas, cumin, baking powder, coriander, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Pulse until chickpeas are mostly broken down with some chunks; stop just before mixture turns into a paste. Taste and adjust seasonings.

2. Stage

Scoop out about 2 tablespoons chickpea mixture and gently form into a ball without squeezing too much or falafel will be dense. Working in batches, in an air-fryer basket, arrange balls. Cook at 370° until browned, about 15 minutes.

3. Stage

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine tahini and lemon juice. Add water and stir until combined, adding more water 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached; season with salt and red pepper flakes.

4. Stage

Serve falafel as is with sauce, in a salad, or in a pita.
