Prep

Step 1. Bring Bulgur Wheat and most of the Water to a boil in a small saucepan. Cover and simmer over low heat until tender and the water is absorbed, about 12 minutes; remove from the heat.
Step 2. Meanwhile, pulse Chickpeas, Onion, Garlic, half the Fresh Parsley, Cumin and half the Salt in a food processor until finely chopped, not smooth. Pulse in Chickpea Flour and Baking Powder.
Step 3. Form the mixture into 16 compact patties and brush both sides with Olive Oil. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

Cook

Step 4. Arrange half the patties in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 375°F (190°C), turning halfway, until browned and firm, about 10 minutes; transfer to a plate.
Step 5. Cook the remaining patties at 375°F (190°C), turning halfway, until browned and firm, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk Tahini, half the juice from Lemon and the rest of the Water into a pourable sauce.

Finish & serve

Step 6. Fluff the bulgur and toss with Tomato, Cucumber, the rest of the Fresh Parsley, the remaining juice from Lemon and the rest of the Salt.
Step 7. Spread Hummus in bowls and add the bulgur salad and falafel. Spoon the tahini sauce over the falafel.

Tips

Good to know

Pulse the chickpeas just until the mixture holds together; a little texture helps the patties stay firm.

Leftovers

Refrigerate the components separately for up to 3 days and reheat the falafel in the air fryer.
