Who has not tried to buy a falafel and has been craving a homemade and traditional recipe?
There are many origins of falafel, be it Arabic, Palestinian, Mexican...
This recipe for falafel with yogurt sauce in a airfryer it is suitable for children and for vegans (it would be necessary to change to a soy yogurt).
I have cooked everything in my 5.5L Innsky air fryer.
You do not need a thermomix, oven, grill, microwave, although it is recommended to use a blender so that the falafel dough is better.
This recipe is kid-friendly and healthier than traditional.
I highly recommend trying other air fryer recipes like Air Fryer Garlic Bread Recipe or Air Fryer Garlic Chicken Recipe
