Crispy Falafel

Ingredients

  • Dried chickpeas – 200 g, soaked overnight (about 400 g soaked)
  • Red onion – 60 g, diced
  • Garlic – 15 g
  • All-purpose flour – 8 g
  • Ground cumin – 4 g
  • Cayenne pepper – 0.2 g
  • Salt – 5 g
  • Fresh coriander – 20 g

Directions

  1. Drain the soaked chickpeas thoroughly and pat them dry to remove excess moisture.

  2. Add the soaked chickpeas, red onion, garlic, coriander, cumin, cayenne pepper and salt to a food processor.

  3. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped and holds together when pressed. Do not blend into a smooth paste.

  4. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and mix in the all-purpose flour.

  5. Shape the mixture into small falafel balls or patties.

  6. Arrange the falafel in the Ninja CRISPi cooking vessel over crisper plate, leaving space between each piece.

  7. Air Fry until golden brown and crispy, turning halfway through cooking for even browning.

  8. Serve hot with tahini sauce, hummus or your preferred dip.
