For falafel — homemade falafel balls (1.5 in / 4 cm diameter) — start with 375°F (190°C) for an estimated 14–18 minutes. Flip or turn at about 8 minutes. Use the preparation steps below and the full table for other sizes or starting conditions.
Soak dried chickpeas (not canned) in water for 12–24 hours, drain, and pulse in a food processor with onion, garlic, fresh parsley, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and 2 tablespoons of flour until coarsely textured. Do not over-process — the mixture should hold together when squeezed but not be a paste. Refrigerate 30 minutes before forming.
Form into 1.5-inch balls or patties (patties tend to cook more evenly). Spray the air fryer basket and the falafel liberally with cooking spray — this is critical for a crispy exterior. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) and spray again after flipping. Without enough oil, the surface stays dry and chalky.
Use the homemade falafel balls (1.5 in / 4 cm diameter) preparation. Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C); the starting range is 14–18 minutes. Turn or shake at about 8 minutes as appropriate for the food. Check at the lower end and continue as needed; thickness, load and the appliance affect the actual time.Follow the preparation and texture checks for this food.
Frozen store-bought falafel cooks at 375°F for 10–12 minutes without needing to thaw. Shake or flip at 5–6 minutes. Quality varies significantly by brand — look for brands with simple ingredients and avoid those with many fillers.
Serve in pita with hummus, tahini sauce, cucumber, tomato, and pickled red onion. Falafel is also great over salads or rice bowls. Best eaten within 20 minutes of cooking; they soften as they cool. Reheat at 350°F for 3–4 minutes to restore crispiness.
