Air Fryer Falafel - Gluten-free Whole Food Plant-based
This air fryer falafel is gluten-free, oil-free, delicious and super healthy! Serve it solo, on a Greek salad, or gyro! Pair with my Red Pepper Coulis for added flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 can (15oz) Chickpeas
- 1 whole Shallot quartered
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1/2 cup Parsley
- 1 tsp Ground Cumin
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Ground red pepper
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 4 tbsp Garbanzo flour
Instructions
- Add the quartered shallot, garlic cloves, parsley, ground cumin, salt, and ground red pepper to a food processor fitted with a steel blade.
- Process about a minute or until blended, then add the chickpeas and pulse 6 to 10 times until just blended, but not pureed. Stop to push ingredients down with a silicone spatula when they get stuck at the top and sides.
- Sprinkle in the baking powder and the garbanzo flour, and pulse 2 to 3 times.
- Remove the processor and blade. Give it a few manual stirs to make sure the flour and baking powder is well incorporated.
- Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate, covered, at least 30 minutes.
- Form the falafel mixture into 12 balls, if they are sticky add some flour to your hands and your work surface.
- Preheat the air fryer 350F.
- Cook 14 minutes, until golden brown, turning halfway.
