Air-Fryer Falafel v
Falafel are a popular street food in the Middle East. The crispy fried chickpea fritters are crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside and full of flavor from cilantro, mint, coriander and nutty sesame seeds. These air-fryer falafel are gluten free on top of it all. Parsley can be added or used instead of mint. —Nithya Narasimhan, Chennai, India
