This recipe for Keto Falafel offers a low-carb twist on the classic Middle Eastern dish, using broccoli, almond meal, and flavorful spices to create crispy and delicious falafel balls.
Put all the chopped ingredients into the food processor. Crack one egg and add it to the mixture.
Pulse the ingredients in the food processor until everything is finely chopped. Be cautious not to over-process, as some texture should remain in the mixture.
Transfer the mixture from the food processor to a large bowl.
Use your hands to roll and shape the mixture into 12-14 round balls, approximately the size of a walnut.
Baking the falafel
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Place the falafel balls onto the air fryer basket, leaving space between them. Then, lightly spray each falafel with olive oil using a spray bottle.
Bake them in the preheated air fryer for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown and have a crunchy texture. Remember to flip them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
Once cooked, remove them from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
