      Falafel is a delicious Middle-Eastern vegetarian dish made with chickpeas, a mix of onions and different herbs and spices. They are shaped like meatballs, but theres no meat in them. I wanted to create a falafel recipe that was quick and easy, made from canned chickpeas and didnt require frying. Solution, air fryer to the rescue! You can see more air fryer recipes here!,Alt=,Protein packed, nutritious and light these un-fried falafels will delight your palate. Perfect on days you want to go meatless or just include more plant based foods in your diet. Serve them in a pita, over hummus, with couscous, or over rice you decide! Also great for meal prep!,Serve them in a hollow pita. Thats pretty obvious, here in NY most street carts that sell them, they come in a pita with tomatoes, red onion and even pickles. Falafel is commonly accompanied by tahini or a spicy harissa hot sauce.,Serve them over hummus. Thats my favorite way to eat them, topped with cucumbers, red onion and tomatoes. A few pieces of toasted pita wedges on the side. Also great to pack for lunch!,Make a platter. Serve them over couscous or basmati rice with tomatoes and cucumbers.,Lettuce wraps. Not traditional but you can keep it light and serve them in lettuce wraps. The outer leaves of a head of iceberg lettuce, in my opinion make the best wrap because they are larger and easier to fold.,Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Scallops,Air Fried Shishito Peppers,Avocado Fries with Lime Dipping Sauce (Air Fryer or Oven),Air Fryer Salmon with Maple Soy Glaze,Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls
