Ingredients

  • 3 cans drained chickpeas (this is about 40 ounces)
  • 1 shallot, minced (use 1/4 onion as a sub)
  • 1 bunch italian parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/4 cup flour (whatever flour, with/without gluten)

Instructions

  • Preheat over/air fryer to 400 deg F. Chop parsley leaves and shallot very fine (this is a great job for a mini food processor). Add to very large bowl,
  • Add in remainder of ingredients to bowl, and with your hands mix batter together. Your job is to lightly crush the chickpeas, leaving a little bit of texture behind. The batter is done when you can make a ball that holds together firmly.
  • Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup as a guide, make your falafel. You'll get ~12; the amount matters far less than evenness. Spray with non-stick spray and place into cooking device; air fryer will take ~8 minutes, oven about 12 (though I would check on them at 6 minutes and flip for both).
  • Serve warm with sliced tomato and homemade hummus.
