TIP: If you prefer to start with dried chickpeas, soak 1 cup of them in cold water for at least 8 hours, then drain, rinse, and dry thoroughly (do not cook before using). Falafel are great served in a pita pocket or on top of a salad with lettuce, cucumber, tomato, and tahini sauce.
Spread chickpeas on a tray lined with paper towel and let air-dry while preparing other ingredients.
Step 2
Combine onion, bread crumbs, parsley, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt, coriander, and black pepper in a food processor, and pulse to combine until onions are finely minced.
Step 3
Add chickpeas, 3 tablespoons oil, and egg, and pulse just until chickpeas are broken down and mixture is combined.
Step 4
Transfer mixture to a large bowl and stir to ensure it is evenly combined. Use a 1/4-cup measuring cup to shape mixture into 16 patties. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 5
Brush patties on both sides with remaining oil.
Step 6
Place Cook & Crisp™ Basket in pot and close crisping lid. Preheat the unit by selecting AIR CRISP, setting the temperature to 375° F, and setting the time to 5 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin.
Step 7
After 5 minutes, place half the patties in the basket, leaving ample space between them. Close lid. Select AIR CRISP, set temperature to 375° F, and set time to 22 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin.
Step 8
After 11 minutes, use tongs to flip patties over. Close lid to resume cooking.
Step 9
When cooking is complete, remove patties and repeat steps 7 and 8 with remaining patties. Serve warm.
