Easy, quick and delicious this ActiFry Chickpea and Bean Falafel is the perfect light lunch or dinner recipe cooked in 20 minutes. It's gluten-free, vegan and budget friendly.
This is my second recipe for Tefal's Spin Class Campaign. The first one was the truly scrumptious ActiFry Red Berry and Peppermint Spring Rolls made in my new Tefal ActiFry Genius XL.
This time when I spun the ‘Gear of goodness’ to help me decide which recipe to create, I landed on gear 1, which is ‘healthy but hearty well-known dishes”.
I think this Chickpea and Bean Falafel is the perfect healthy but hearty recipe helping you maintain that summer fitness into autumn.
There are loads of reasons why I love cooking with Tefal ActiFry genius XL:
- One-Pot-Perfect – Simply add all your ingredients in at the same time, and let the ‘1-meal-in-1-go’ settings do the work for you.
- Healthy Cooking – Cooking your favourite fried food with 99% less added fat*
- Family Friendly – A capacity of up to 1.7kg* feeds up to 8 people! No more meals for one, there’s enough for all the family!
- 9 Automatic Cooking Settings – The Actifry adjusts automatically the stirring, cooking and temperature control settings, helping you achieve perfectly even, delicious meals. From fries to stir-fries, curries and even desserts!
How to make ActiFry Chickpea and Bean Falafel Recipe
The ingredients are simple: kidney beans, chickpeas, shallot, garlic, flour of your choice (I used gluten-free flour), water, olive oil, salt and pepper and ras-el-hanout seasoning.
Whizz it all in a good food processor, make little balls and then cook for 20 minutes in your ActiFry.
Cooking up falafel in air fryer is easy, delicious and so much healthier than deep frying.
I will share the full recipe down below, but you can also find it on the My ActiFry app which can be downloaded for free.
