1) Soak the chickpeas overnight in cold water (or up to 24 hours), then drain, rinse, and drain once more. 2) Then, pulse the soaked chickpeas in a food processor into a medium crumb consistency before adding the remaining ingredients (no starch or baking powder) until well mixed. 3) Transfer the mixture to the fridge for 30-60 minutes, stir in the baking powder, form into falafel, and bake/ air fry as written above. If the falafel mixture doesn't hold together when pressed, add a small sprinkle of chickpea flour/starch to help it bind. However, be careful not to add too much, as it turns the chickpea falafels dense.
