Air fryer spinach falafel salad bowls

1. Place all the ingredients for the falafel, except the sesame seeds and olive oil, in a food processor and blitz into a paste.
2. Roll into 14 small balls. Roll each falafel in the toasted sesame seeds to coat.  
3. Add the falafel to the air fryer drawer and spray or drizzle with a small amount of olive oil (about 1 tsp, no more). Air fry at 200°C for 15-20 minutes, or until the outside is golden and crisp. For an extra crisp exterior, try using the "Max Crisp" setting for the last 3-4 minutes of cooking, if available. Please note that cooking times are a guideline and may vary, so check the falafels and adjust the time as needed. You are aiming for a crisp exterior. 
4. While the falafel cooks, prepare the salad. Toss the cucumber, tomato and red onion with 1 tsp of za'atar and extra virgin olive oil. 
5. Divide the hummus, salad and pitta bread between 2 bowls. Top each with the crispy falafel, add a wedge of lemon and serve.
