What is an Air Fryer?
Quick and Easy Air Fryer Falafel Recipe
You will need:
2 Cups of chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
1/2 Cup of parsley
1/2 Cup of cilantro

3 – 4 Cloves of crushed garlic (or more if you like)
1 Teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 Teaspoon salt
Your favorite cooking oil
1. Pulse the chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, onion,. garlic, cumin, and salt in a food processor together.
2. Roll approximately 2 tablespoons of the falafel mixture into a ball and flatten each ball with a the bottom of a glass.
3. Put a layer of falafel patties in the airy fryer basket and lightly spray with the cooking oil of your choice. I use an olive oil sprayer like this one filled with olive oil although you can use whatever oil you like!
4. Put the air fryer basket into the air fryer and press the power button. Press the temperature button and use the minus button to set the temperature to 370 degrees. Press the timer button and use the plus and minus buttons to set the time to 12 minutes. Turn the falafel patties over halfway through the cooking time.
5. Serve with tzatziki sauce.
