Looking for pre-prepped healthy lunch inspiration? Try our air-fry falafels: healthy & perfect for both vegan and vegetarian days. We’re going to need a pressure cooker with an air fry setting, so get yours at the ready. Just 4 Simple steps. Let’s go!

Here's what you'll need...

For the falafel mixture:

  • 1 small onion quartered
  • 3 cloves chopped garlic
  • 50g parsley
  • 50g coriander
  • 50g spring onions
  • ½ tsp chilli flakes
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 can chickpeas – rinsed & drained
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 4 tbsp plain flour

For the salad:

  • Hummus
  • Sliced tomatoes, cucumber, onions, pita and tahini

Here's how it's done...

Step 1

First, add your ingredients into the food processor: Onion, garlic, parsley, coriander, spring onions, chilli flakes, salt and cumin. Then, pulse 2-3 times. Add one can of chickpeas (that have already been rinsed & drained). Pulse 2-3 times again, then give it a good stir with a spatula.

Step 2

Next, add baking powder, then the flour. Pulse 3-4 times until you have a paste-like consistency. Then cover your mixture with cling-film & refrigerate for 2 hours.

Step 3

Pre-heat your air fryer to 177 Degrees Celsius and line a baking tray. Then roll that delicious mixture into 12 balls and place each one on the tray with a good space in between each of them. Next, drizzle them in olive oil. Air fry for 14 minutes, making sure you turn them all over at the halfway point: 7 minutes in. Set your alarm so you don’t forget!

Step 4

Finally, add a dollop of hummus or two or get all MasterChef and smear it across the plate. Add some sliced tomatoes, cucumber, onions, pita and tahini.

Serve up one healthy, tasty lunch; packed full of middle eastern flavours. Any leftovers can go in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze the falafel for no more than 3 months.
