Notes
This cooking method works with Trader Joe’s frozen falafel of course, but is the same for other brands as well, such as Aldi or Costco
If you use mini falafel, you’ll want to cut the cooking time down by 3 minutes
I typically serve falafel with hummus, tahini, tzatziki, or garlic sauce (but they’re also delicious on their own). Stuff them in a pita with lettuce and sauce for an easy sandwich!
A serving is 3 falafel, and you’ll generally get 4 servings in a bag. As long as your air fryer is large enough, cook as many as you want at a time and there’s no need to change cooking time
Don’t add any additional oil during cooking, as the frozen breading already contains enough
8 minutes was perfect in my Ninja Dual Zone air fryer. Other air fryers may differ slightly on total cook time needed
Exact nutritional values will vary based on brand of ingredients and quantity consumed, so please consider this a guideline only
