• Transfer chickpeas to a food processor. Add onion, cilantro, parsley, almond flour, garlic, cumin, cayenne, baking powder, salt, pepper, baking soda, and nutmeg. Process on medium-high speed until a chunky paste forms.
• Refrigerate mixture to let flavors develop and to enable more drying, at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour.
• Form mixture into 1 1/4-inch balls. Place in the air fryer basket and spray with sesame oil spray; be careful, falafel will be delicate.
• Set the air fryer to 320 degrees F (160 degrees C) and cook for 10 minutes. Coat with more sesame oil if desired, increase temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and cook until outsides are toasted, about 10 more minutes.
