Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Start with 1⅓ cups (about 250g) of dried chickpeas. Place them in a large bowl and cover with plenty of water (they’ll expand!). Soak overnight or for at least 8 hours until they’ve tripled in size. You should end up with about 4 cups of soaked chickpeas.
Blend the chickpeas and rest of the ingredients in a food processor until mostly mixed (you don’t want it to be 100% smooth).
It should feel a bit like a damp, crumbly dough that you can squeeze into a ball or patty without it falling apart. If it’s too dry and won’t hold, add a splash of water or lemon juice. If it’s too wet or mushy, mix in a little chickpea flour or more breadcrumbs.
Roll into balls and airfry at 180 degrees celcius for 7 minutes. Spray with a little olive oil before airfrying.
Flip them over
Airfry for another 7 minutes or until cooked.
Serve with salad or in a wrap
Makes about 20-30 small falafels or 15-20 larger patties, depending on how big you roll them.
Store cooked falafels in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

Meal prep tip: Uncooked falafel mix can also be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days – just scoop and cook as needed.
