Ingredients

200 g dried chickpeas, soaked overnight
10 g parsley, leaves and stems, roughly chopped
10 g coriander, leaves and stems, roughly chopped
5 g dill, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic
2 t ground cumin
2 t ground coriander
1 t bicarbonate of soda
1 t baking powder
salt, to taste
chilli powder, to taste (optional)
olive oil spray, to coat
hummus, for serving
red onion, finely chopped, for serving
red apple, finely sliced, for serving
sumac, for serving
fresh coriander, to garnish

Method

1. Add the drained chickpeas to a blender with the parsley, coriander, dill, garlic, cumin, ground coriander, baking powder, salt and chilli powder, if using. Blend to form a coarse but mouldable mixture that can be shaped into falafel.

2. Using 2 spoons or by hand, shape equally sized falafel.

3. Place the falafel in an air-fryer and spray with the olive oil to coat well. Cook for 10 minutes, then turn over and cook for a further 5 minutes. Serve with hummus, onion, apple and sumac, or your favourite dip. Garnish with the coriander.
