Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Place all ingredients except the egg, flour, and oil into a food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped and combine into a mixture (do not turn them into a puree).

2. 2

   Transfer the mixture to a bowl, add the egg, salt and pepper. If the mixture is too wet, add 1–3 tbsp of all‑purpose flour as needed to thicken slightly. The dough should remain moist but can be handled. Chill for 20 minutes, then shape into eight balls and gently flatten them.

3. 3

   Preheat the air fryer to 200 °C, spray each falafel with oil and fry for 10–15 minutes until the interior is cooked through and the exterior is golden. Serve with your favorite accompaniments.
