Step 1
Pulse
Fava Beans (200 g)
,
Fresh Parsley (20 g)
,
Fresh Cilantro (8 g)
,
Garlic (3 cloves)
,
Spring Onion (1)
,
Ground Coriander (1 g)
,
Salt (to taste)
, and
Ground Cumin (as needed)
in the food processor.
Step 2
Adjust consistency by adding a tablespoon of
Water (to taste)
until mixture is smooth but still firm. Add 2-3 tablespoons of
All-Purpose Flour (to taste)
to falafel mixture. Refrigerate for at least two hours.
Step 3
The mixture will be soft but relatively scoopable. Make loose balls that are slightly smaller than golf ball sized and lay them gently on a tray or baking sheet. Put in the freezer until frozen solid.
Step 4
Spray or brush the basket with
Oil (as needed)
. Put frozen falafel balls in a single layer at the bottom of the basket and wait a couple of minutes until their tops start to get a bit shiny. Then bake them for 10 minutes at 330 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Step 5
Spray the falafel balls with oil and then raise the heat to 355 degrees F (180 degrees C). Bake for another 5-10 minutes or until they turn a nice golden brown.
Step 6
Use a spoon to gently coax the falafel balls out of the air fryer basket. They might leave a tiny piece of their bottom parts behind but that’s totally okay.
Step 7
Enjoy popping them in your mouth like candy or make a huge sandwich with some fresh flatbread, veggies, and tahini sauce.
