Air Fryer Falafel
35min

Cook this dish
This Air Fryer Falafel recipe uses dried chickpeas for a more authentic taste and texture. The falafel balls are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, packed with fresh herbs and aromatic spices. The air fryer method reduces oil usage, creating a healthier version of this Middle Eastern classic. These falafels are perfect in pita bread with fresh vegetables and tahini sauce, or as a protein-rich addition to salads and grain bowls. Note that using dried chickpeas requires overnight soaking, but results in a superior texture and flavor compared to canned chickpeas.
