Vegan Falafel Recipe

Yields30 ServingsPrep Time20 minsCook Time15 minsTotal Time35 mins

 16 oz dried Chickpeas/Garbanzo Beans, soaked*
 1 small Yellow Onion, sliced
 2 cloves of Garlic
 ½ bunch fresh Parsley, chopped
 ¼ bunch fresh Cilantro, chopped
 1 tbsp Cumin
 ¼ tsp Cayenne Pepper
 Black Pepper, to taste
 1 ½ tsp Salt
 ½ lemon juice
 ¼ cup Chickpea Flour*
 2 tbsp Tahini
1

Place the Soaked Chickpeas, roughly chopped Onion, and Garlic into a large Food Processor. Process until the mixture is finely chopped, but not mush.

2

Next, add in the fresh Herbs, dried Spices, and Lemon Juice. Process again until well incorporated — the mixture should turn a bright green color.
Finally, add the Chickpea Flour and Tahini to the Food Processor, and pulse until well combined.

3

Transfer the Falafel mixture to a large bowl, and use your hands to form round balls using ~2 tbsp of the mixture.

4

Transfer the Falafel balls to the Air Fryer basket and Bake at 350F for 20 minutes. For extra crispy Falafel, spray the balls with some oil or a nonstick cooking spray before baking.
Serve as desired. The Falafel will dry out slightly in the fridge, but will keep well in a sealed container for up to 5 days.
