Easy homemade falafel wraps made in the air fryer with chickpeas, herbs, and spices. Crispy, healthy, and ready in 20 minutes. Makes 8 perfect for freezing.

For this recipe, you'll need a Sunbeam Alinea Wide Ceramic Air Fryer.

You will need:

  • 1 x 400g can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1 medium sized onion, chopped
  • 1 large handful of parsley, chopped
  • 1 small garlic clove, chopped
  • ¼ tsp salt

  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 50g breadcrumbs

Let's make it:

Step 1:

Pat the chickpeas dry with some clean kitchen paper.

Step 2:

Blitz all the ingredients (apart from the oil) together until smooth. If you are using a masher, mash the chickpeas first before mixing with the other ingredients (you will need to finely chop the onion and garlic, if using this method).

Step 3:

Shape into 8 x 7cm patties.

Step 4:

Brush the air flow tray with a little oil.

Step 5:

Place the patties onto the tray and brush or spray with oil.

Step 6:

Cook on Air Fry 180°C for 18 – 20 minutes. Turn halfway through. 

Step 7:

Once cooked remove from the air fryer and warp in some foil to keep warm.

Step 8:

Warm the wraps, this can also be done in the air fryer.

Step 9:

Spread each wrap with some hummus, top with the falafel and the salad, drizzle with hot sauce adding in some of your favourite pickles. Roll and serve.
