- Preheat the air-fryer to 200°C.
- Put all the ingredients for the falafel, except the oil, into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add 2-3 tbsp of the reserved chickpea liquid, and blend until the mixture is sticking together.
- Divide the mixture into 8 and press gently into patties.
- Spray the air-fryer basket with sunflower oil and place the falafels in a single layer. Spray the tops with more oil and cook for 15 mins until crisp and browned.
- Meanwhile, put the sliced red onion into a small bowl along with the vinegar and a pinch of salt. Leave to pickle for 10 mins, then drain.
- To assemble, lay the flatbreads or wraps out and spread thickly with the houmous. Top with the crisp falafels and heap on the pickled onions, sliced tomatoes and gherkins. Add a pickled chilli, if you like, and serve while warm.
