Healthy Baked Falafel [+ Air Fryer]

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C).

Step 2

Drain and rinse the garbanzo beans. Place them in the bowl of a food processor, wiz on high for 20 seconds.

Step 3

Place all of the remaining ingredients into the food processor. Wiz until you have a doughy texture.

Step 4

Use a spoon, scoop out a golf-ball-sized piece and place it on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Line out the entire batch, about 10-12 balls. Slightly flatten with your palm or a spatula.

Step 5

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until firm. Do not flip while cooking.

Step 6

I served mine on pita with fresh lettuce, parsley, and tomatoes. Top with a tahini mixture (equal parts water and tahini paste with a squirt of lemon). Trader Joe's tahini is already mixed and ready to use.
