Make Yourself a lot of Falafel

Ingredients: 

• One 14 ounce can of chickpeas, drained
• 1.5 limes, freshly squeezed or half of a large lemon (I used a lime)
• 1/4 cup garbanzo flour 
• 1/8 cup tahini 
• 1/8 cup finely chopped parsley 
• 1/8 cup finely chopped coriander 
• 1.5 TBSP oil of your choice. I used avocado. 
• 1 TBSP cumin 
• 1 TBSP garlic powder 
• 1 TBSP zatar (optional if you don’t have)
• 2 tsp onion powder 
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp cayenne 
• Dash of pepper 

Instructions: 

Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend until everything  is combined together. A few larger pieces of chickpeas per falafel is ok. Form balls (this recipe makes approximately 13). 

For the air-fryer, I cooked half of the recipe first and the other half after the first batch was complete. I didn’t want the falafels to overlap.

Cook in air-fryer at 375F for 18 - 20 minutes. 

If you don’t have an air-fryer, you can also cook these up in an oven. Set your oven to 400F. Bake for 18 minutes, flip them over, and bake for another 16 - 18 minutes.

Serve with a salad, in a wrap, as a taco, burrito or eat alone with hummus. How you want to eat your falafels is completely up to you! I ate mine in a taco with vegan mayo and Sriracha at the bottom and layered with; chopped kale massaged in lime, red pepper, cucumber, tomato and green onions. It was delish!  

Enjoy!!! ✌️💚😋
