tbsp tahini

Instructions
1 Put chickpeas in a bowl and fill with water, about 3” over the top surface of the chickpeas. Soak for 24 hours. 2 Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking sheet, or use an air fryer. 3 Place all ingredients - soaked chickpeas, broccoli, carrots, onion, cilantro, minced garlic, tahini, cumin, cardamom, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper - in a food processor and pulse until finely minced. Do not over-pulse - the mixture should be coarse/paste-y. 4 Use your hands or a cookie scoop to shape falafel mixture into small balls or patties and place in air fryer basket or prepared baking sheet. 5 Air fry at 350°F for about 15 minutes, or Bake for 25 minutes, flipping half way, until golden brown and crisp. See notes for frying. 6 Combine all ingredients for sauce in a bowl. 7 Serve falafel with the cool sauce and a warm pita!View original recipe
