Step 1

The day before making the recipe, be certain to soak the dried chickpeas in water for at least 12 hours, then drain before moving on to the next step.

Step 2

In a blender or food processor, add the soaked chickpeas and blend until mostly smooth (it's okay if there are a few chunks of chickpeas throughout). Place the blended chickpeas into a large mixing bowl and set aside.

Step 3

To the same blender or food processor, add the parsely, cilantro, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, baking powder, black pepper, dill, sugar, cayenne and olive oil.

Step 4

Blend until smooth.

Step 5

Add the green mixture to the chickpeas in the mixing bowl, then mix by hand until well combined.

Step 6

Spray the air fryer basket with oil.

Step 7

Using wet hands, grab golf ball-sized mixtures of falafel batter and shape into rounds. Place the falafel rounds in single layer of the sprayed air fryer basket, working in batches if necessary.
