Summer Baked Lentil Burgers

Summer Lentil Burgers

8-10 burgers

  • 1 cup dry lentils, well rinsed
  • 2 1/2 cups water – may need to add more if needed
  • 1/2 medium onion, diced (or onion powder in a pinch)
  • 1 red pepper diced
  • 1 fresh ear of corn- cut off kernels (or some frozen)
  • Handful of spinach, kale or other green
  • 1 cup (apx) of flour (can be reg or gluten free)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ tsp Garlic powder

 

Directions

  1. Boil lentils in the water with the salt for around 45 minutes. Lentils will be soft and most of the water will be gone. Add more water id lentils aren’t mushy yet and you need to continue cooking
  2. Once lentils are mushy – throw in fresh veggies and cook for 3-5 mins.
  3. In a bowl mix the cooked ingredients with flour, and any spices (spices are apx. And you may want to add more or less depending on your taste)
  4. While still warm form the mixture into patties, it will make 8-10 burgers.
  5. On a cookie sheet lines with tin foil – grease lightly with olive oil
  6. Bake at 350 or 400 for 10 mins or so – check to make sure bottoms aren’t getting burnt – I also put on Broil for 1 min at end to brown tops.
