Homemade falafel gets crisp outside and tender inside with much less oil in the air fryer.

What is air fryer falafel?

Falafel are spiced balls made from chickpeas or fava beans. In the air fryer they get a crisp outside with less oil than deep-frying. Serve them with salad, bread or a fresh sauce.
