Lentil Burgers with a Kick of Jalapeno

Ingredients 0/10

Step 1

Bring water and lentils to a boil in a saucepan. Once boiling, lower the heat, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. Then toss in the chopped carrots, onion, jalapeno, and garlic, and cook everything together until the lentils are nice and tender—this should take another 15 minutes or so. Take the pan off the heat and let the mixture cool down a bit.

Step 2

While that’s cooling, go ahead and preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a wire rack that can go in the oven. In a big bowl, mix the bread crumbs, eggs, olive oil, salt, and Italian seasoning. Add the lentil mixture to that bowl and stir everything until it’s well combined.

Step 3

Shape the mixture into 6 to 8 patties and place them on the greased wire rack. Pop the rack into the fridge for about 15 minutes to help the patties firm up. When you’re ready, put the wire rack on a baking sheet and bake the patties for around 20 minutes, until they feel firm and cooked through.
