a really delicious and healthy vegan snack. these have a nice amount of fiber and some protein even if you only eat a quarter of them. goes great straight or on salads or in soups. Good in vegan chicken salad too.
drain a can of chick peas, add a teaspoon of garlic olive oil, a few tablespoons of spice and stir well. air fry 12 minutes at 400°f/200°c stirring twice. top with fresh herbs and serve hot!
These are seasoned with onion powder, garlic salt and cumin and topped with parsley.
Tangentially related: has anyone tried air frying falafel?
I’ve tried it in a two-drawer Ninja. 10 minutes at 290C makes it crisp on the outside and soft in the middle, just the way I like it.
with great success, both the pre made balls and the mix! they don’t need very much time even from the refrigerator like 4-5 minutes max at 400°.
With the mix it’s important to make as many as they specify in the directions so like it might say 16 and they only come out really small if you do 16 but they cook through and you don’t end up with soggy middle. Every time i try to cheat and make fewer larger ones they aren’t as good. I have never made them in the pan so idk if this is comparative.
here’s some pre made balls air fried with olive oil brushed on
lol i didn’t mean for it to crop it like that but it’s hilarious
The frozen premade ones from Costco, yes haha.
