  • Main Ingredients

    • 1 cup dry garbanzo beans
    • 🌿 1 ½ cups fresh cilantro, stems removed
    • 🌿 ¾ cup fresh flat-leafed parsley, stems removed
    • 🧅 1 small red onion, quartered
    • 🧄 1 clove garlic
    • 2 tablespoons chickpea flour
    • 1 tablespoon ground coriander

STEPS

1

Soak chickpeas in a large amount of cool water for 24 hours. Rub the soaked chickpeas with your fingers to help loosen and remove skins. Rinse and drain well. Spread chickpeas on a large clean dish towel to dry.

2

Blend chickpeas, cilantro, parsley, onion, and garlic in a food processor until a rough paste forms. Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Add chickpea flour, coriander, cumin, Sriracha, salt, and pepper and mix well. Cover bowl and let mixture rest for 1 hour.

3

Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

4

Add baking powder and baking soda to the chickpea mixture. Mix using your hands until just combined. Form 15 equal-sized balls and press slightly to form patties. Spray falafel patties with cooking spray.

5

Cook the first batch of 7 patties in the air fryer for 10 minutes. Repeat with the remaining 8 patties, cooking for 10 to 12 minutes.
