PREPARATION
- The day before, soak your chickpeas. Cover with water by 2-3 inches. Soak chickpeas for 18-24 hours.
- Add soaked chickpeas, onion, garlic cloves, fresh parsley, cilantro and dried spices to a food processor. Blend until incorporated and smooth, be careful not to over blend—you want to still have a little bit of texture or “grit” to the mixture. Place mixture in fridge for 30-60 mins to set.
- Stir baking powder into the mixture. Scoop and roll the mixture into balls or patties. Lightly coat the Air Fryer and falafel with cooking spray and set balls into the pan. Air Fry at 375°F for 10 minutes, flip, and cook for 7 more minutes.
- Plate and top with Plant Bomb Garlic Tahini and enjoy!
