The Very Best Air Fryer Falafel

By:

Ingredients
  • 20 ml lemon juice
  • 3 clove garlic peeled, crushed
  • 50 ml water iced
  • 60 ml tahini
  • 400 g tinned chickpeas
  • ½ red onion chopped
  • 30 g fresh parsley stem removed
  • 100 g courgette grated
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Salt as needed
  • 1 tbsp self raising flour
  • 1 ½ tbsp chia seeds
  • Olive oil, as needed
Instructions
  • Place all the falafel ingredients into a food processor and pulse everything until the mixture just comes together and the chickpeas are in loose, bread crumb sized pieces (do not make a puree!). Scrape the sides of the mixer as needed, to help everything pulse evenly.
  • Once pulsed, scoop the mixture into 16 balls, and brush with olive oil.
  • Select Air Fry on the Air Fryer and set the temperature to 205°C / 400°F and the time to 10 Minutes.
  • When prompted to Turn Food, flip the falafel and brush again with olive oil.
  • While the falafels cook, make the Tahini Sauce. Grate the garlic into a small bowl and pour over the lemon juice.
  • Mix in the tahini, and water - the mixture may look a little odd and split at first, but keep stirring and it will come together to be a smooth silky sauce.
  • Season the mixture with salt.
  • When the falafels have cooked serve with the tahini sauce.
