- Form into approximately 1 inch - 1.5 inch balls - you'll get 18 -20 depending on how big you make them.

- Air-fry on 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 10 minutes. You can shake or turn at halfway point (5 minutes) and spray a couple more pumps of oil, but you don't have to if you have a Ninja Foodi (I didn't).*The falafel balls will look a little cracked, but this is fine.

RECIPE: Quick & Easy Tahini Sauce
*You generally cannot buy "tahini sauce" unless it's from a deli. You buy tahini (which is ground-up sesame seeds), then you need to make the sauce by adding lemon, garlic and water. Just be sure to check the ingredients if it says "tahini sauce".
