Finely chop the spring onions, garlic, parsley and coriander in a food processor. Add the chickpeas, sesame seeds, spices, salt and corn starch until the mixture reaches a coarse chunky consistency.
Shape the mixture into 12 round falafel balls with lightly oiled hands and place on the grill plate. Bake the falafel using the nugget function for 18 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Add the pita breads to the hot air fryer 3 minutes before the end of cooking time until warmed through.
