Lentil lovers, these lentil burgers are for you!<\/strong> These hearty meatless burgers are made with familiar and wholesome ingredients, unlike many store-bought options these days. My Favorite Veggie Burgers are still my go-to, but these lentil burgers come in second. <\/p>\n

These burgers are flavored with grated carrot, fresh cilantro or parsley, onion and garlic, and spices, including chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Two eggs are optional (omit them for vegan burgers), but they provide extra moisture and a lighter texture. <\/p>\n

The recipe comes together beautifully in the food processor. Like my veggie burgers, these lentil burgers turn out best when baked in the oven, which is a more efficient and less fussy method than cooking them in a skillet. They turn out nicely golden and firm enough to hold their shape in between a bun. <\/p>\n

Lentil Burger Serving Suggestions<\/h2>\n

These burgers taste best with boldly flavored toppings,<\/strong> like an herbed avocado sauce and pickles. You could also serve these burgers without bread, perhaps on a green salad or over cooked brown rice, farro or quinoa with some of the topping suggestions provided below. Freeze your leftover burgers for a quick protein and fiber-rich addition to future meals. <\/p>\n

    \n
  • Buns or bread of choice, like hamburger buns, English muffins or even flatbread. Lightly toast them for some extra texture. <\/li>\n
  • Sauce, such as guacamole (shown here), avocado pesto, avocado dip, green goddess tahini dip, ketchup, mayo or mustard.<\/li>\n
  • Greens, like crisp lettuce, arugula or spinach.<\/li>\n
  • Add some crunch with dill pickles, quick-pickled red onions, or thinly sliced radishes or cucumbers.<\/li>\n
  • Sliced ripe tomato, only when tomatoes are in season!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Lentil Tips<\/h2>\n

    This recipe calls for 2 1\/2 cups regular greenish-brown lentils. You can cook them yourself, or use canned lentils or steamed lentils from Trader Joe\u2019s. Regardless of the cooking method, you\u2019ll need to spread them across a paper towel to absorb excess moisture before using them. If you have any extra lentils, add them to a green salad this week. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
