Delicious lentil burgers that are crispy on the outside and tender inside, packed with flavor and nutrition.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups dried red lentils
  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 large shallot (or 1 small onion), small dice (about 1/3 cup)
  • 1/3 cup grated carrots (about 3 small)
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Neutral flavored cooking oil (for pan frying, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Soak the dried red lentils in enough water to cover by about 2 inches for two hours, then rinse and drain.
  3. In a food processor, combine the rinsed lentils, minced garlic, shallot, grated carrots, tomato paste, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Pulse until well combined.
  4. Scoop out ¼ cup of the mixture and shape into patties, about ½ inch thick.
  5. For baking, arrange patties on the prepared sheet and bake for 10 minutes, then flip and bake for another 10 minutes until crispy.
  6. For pan-frying, heat oil in a nonstick skillet and cook patties for about 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  7. Serve hot with a bun or toppings of your choice.
