Start by soaking the dried chickpeas in water overnight.

Drain the chickpeas and add them to a food processor with onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and pepper.

Pulse until the mixture is coarse but combined; you want some texture.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.

Form the chilled mixture into small balls or patties, about 1.5 inches in diameter.

Lightly brush or spray olive oil on the formed falafel.

Place the falafel in the air fryer basket in a single layer.

Cook for about 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispness.

Once golden and crispy, remove the falafel from the air fryer and serve warm.
