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
-
1 tablespoon ground cumin
-
1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
-
½ teaspoon baking powder
-
¼ teaspoon baking soda
-
cooking spray
Directions
-
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.
-
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.
-
Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
-
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.
-
Place 7 falafel patties in the preheated air fryer and cook for 10 minutes. Transfer cooked falafel to a plate and repeat with remaining 8 falafel, cooking for 10 to 12 minutes.
Recipe Tip
Feel free to try harissa sauce in place of Sriracha.
