Air Fryer Chickpea & Peanut Falafel
16 1 oz falafel balls
Ingredients
1 15 oz can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/3 cup of dry roasted peanuts
1/4 cup of fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup of chopped cilantro
2 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup of onion, small, diced
1 tsp of cumin
1/2 tsp of ground coriander
1/2 tsp of smoked paprika
1/2 tsp of kosher salt
1 tbsp of peanut oil
Instructions
- Drain and rinse chickpeas. Then pat chickpeas dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a food processor, combine peanuts and chickpeas. Pulse until crumbly. Add parsley, cilantro, garlic, onion, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, flour, and lemon juice. Pulse again until combined but do not overmix.
- Scoop and roll the mixture into small falafel balls about 1 oz. each.
- Place falafel in the fridge for 15–20 minutes to firm up.
- Lightly brush falafel with peanut oil or spray lightly with cooking spray. Air fry in a single layer at 400 F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
