red lentil burger

I am a big fan of veggie burgers! I rather make them myself then get the prepackaged ones that have extra ingredients that I question the nutritional value of. These burgers are full of flavor and nutrition.

Ingredients:

·         1 cup of dry lentils

·         2 ½ cups of water

·         1 packet of Goya Sazon (or ½ tsp. of salt)

·         1 tbsp. avocado oil (or oil of choice)

·         ½ onion (diced)

·         1 cup of shredded carrots

·         1 tsp. garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder (adjust as needed)

·         2 tbsp. liquid aminos (or soy sauce)

·         1 tbsp. minced garlic

·         ¾ cup rolled oats

·         ¾ cup breadcrumbs

Instructions:

1.       Boil lentils in the water with a packet of sazon, until lentils are soft.

2.       Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

3.       Place oil in a pot and sauté onions, carrots, and garlic until carrots are soft.

4.       In a bowl mix the lentils, onion/chili/garlic, seasonings, liquid aminos, oats, and breadcrumbs.

5.       Form the mixture into patties. (should yield about 8)

6.       Bake burgers for 20 minutes.

7.       Enjoy!
