Grab an air fryer for half off while supplies last!!! 

Air Fryer Lentil Falafel

crunchy, fragrant, earthy, high fiber, vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, excellent source of plant protein, vitamins, and minerals

Recipe~

2 lbs lentils, soaked for 6-8 hours, rinsed and dried

1 medium onion, minced

5-6 cloves of garlic, minced

¼ cup parsley, chopped fine

¼ cup cilantro, chopped fine

2 ½  tsp salt (take a small taste to be sure this is enough for you, this is a LOT of beans)

2 TBSP cumin

1 ½ tsp ground cardamom

pinch of clove

pinch of nutmeg

½ tsp black pepper

½ tsp cayenne

3-4 TBSP chickpea flour (depending on moisture released from lentils and vegetables)

Directions~

Soak lentils in water; covered by at least a few inches, for at least 6 hours. Do not cook them. Rinse them after soaking and allow to air dry.

Prepare all vegetables and herbs and set them aside in a large mixing bowl.

Combine all spices and salt in a small bowl and set aside.

In a food processor, pulse the lentils until they are ground into a small crumb.

Add the ground lentils to the bowl with the prepared herbs and vegetables, mix to combine.

Add the spices and salt to the bowl, mix to combine.

Add the chickpea flour in batches and mix to combine. Stop when the mixture can hold a stable form. The mixture should remain fairly wet but shouldn’t easily fall apart.

You may have to experiment with your own air fryer, but my GoWise 5.8 prepared perfect falafel in 10 minutes on 380F with no added oil! You could certainly add a bit of drizzle for additional moisture and Medeterrian flair but I was pleased without!

Juicing!

Alright guys, another secret I’ve got for you comin’ up!  I recently got a juicer for my birthday and it’s changed my damn life, let me tell you! I’ve been incorporating more healthy, fat-burning leafy greens into my diet like never before! I’ve been feeling leaner and more energized too! (Plus, you can completely obliterate the bitterness of kale in a nice juice!) 

Seriously guys, it tastes like apples!!!  Join the juicing revolution with me and message me with questions!!!  I HIGHLY recommend this juicer, it’s been changing the game in my house!

Strength doesn’t come from what can you do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t.
