Ingredients:

- 1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed

- 1 small onion, finely chopped

- 2 cloves of garlic, minced

- 2 tablespoons of olive oil

- 1 teaspoon of cumin

- 1 teaspoon of coriander

- 1/2 teaspoon of salt

- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper

- 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper

- 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour

- Olive oil cooking spray

Direction:

1. In a food processor, add the chickpeas, onion, garlic, olive oil, cumin, coriander, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Pulse until well combined, but not completely smooth. The mixture should still have some texture.

 

2. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and add in the all-purpose flour. Mix until the flour is well incorporated into the falafel mixture.

 

3. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

 

4. Using your hands, form the falafel mixture into small fritters, about 1 inch in diameter.

 

5. Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil cooking spray. Place the falafel fritters in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

 

6. Spray the tops of the falafel fritters with olive oil cooking spray.

 

7. Cook the falafel fritters in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

 

8. Serve the falafel fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tzatziki or hummus.
