Method:

1. Drain the soaked chickpeas and rinse them with cold water.
2. Place them in a food processor along with the onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, ginger, cayenne pepper, and salt. Pulse the mixture until it is well combined, but not pureed.
3. Add the baking soda and flour to the chickpea mixture, and pulse again until the mixture is well combined and starts to stick together.
4. Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls or patties, about 2 tablespoons each.
5. Preheat your Midea air fryer to 200°C. Spray the falafel balls or patties with cooking spray on all sides.
6. Place the falafel in your air fryer basket, making sure to leave some space between them. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping once halfway through, or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Remove the falafel from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving plate. Serve hot with sides of choice.

Tips

1. Make sure to soak the chickpeas overnight to ensure they are fully softened and ready to be processed.
2. Do not over-process the chickpea mixture. It should be well combined, but still have some texture.
3. If the falafel mixture is too wet, add a bit more flour to help it stick together.
4. Be sure to preheat the air fryer before adding the falafel to ensure even cooking and crispy results.
5. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket, as this can prevent the falafel from cooking evenly.
6. Serve the falafel hot and crispy with your favorite toppings for the best taste and texture.
