Air Fryer Falafel cook up light, fluffy and deliciously crispy. Serve them with hummus and pita or top a salad with them and drizzle on a tahini dressing.
I’m so excited to share this recipe with you today. First, because it’s perfect for Meatless Monday. But second, in this crazy time that we’re living in, these falafel are perfect because they’re affordable, they can be made with mostly shelf stable ingredients, and they can be made ahead of time and popped into the freezer, making meal prep super easy.
