Instructions
Place frozen edamame in a bowl and pour boiling water over them.
Let them stand for 1 minute, then drain and cool them under cold running water.
Process 2 cups of edamame, chickpeas, onion, garlic, herbs, flour, salt, and spices until finely chopped.
Shape heaped tablespoons of the mixture into approximately 26 oval falafel.
Place them on a tray lined with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour to firm up.
To make the Tahini Sauce, whisk the yogurt, tahini, garlic, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
Season it to taste.
Preheat a 5- or 6-quart air fryer to 350°F for 3 minutes.
Spray the falafel generously with oil.
Carefully pull out the air fryer pan and basket and place half the falafel in the basket.
Slide the pan and basket back into the appliance.
Keep the temperature set at 350°F and set the timer for 12 minutes.
Cook, turning the falafel halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden.
Transfer the cooked falafel to a tray and cover them to keep warm.
Repeat the cooking process with the remaining falafel.
Fill grilled pita breads with falafel, remaining edamame, and extra herbs.
Drizzle the falafel with Tahini Sauce and serve with lemon wedges.
Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Tahini is made from toasted ground hulled sesame and is a key ingredient in hummus. You can find it at any large supermarket.
You can sprinkle the Tahini Sauce with a little Moroccan spice mix, if desired.
