Jalapeno Lentil Burgers Recipe

  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 3/4 cup dry lentils
  • 1/2 cup grated carrots
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
  • 3 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  1. Combine water and lentils in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover saucepan, and simmer for 15 minutes. Add carrots, onion, jalapeno pepper, and garlic to lentils; cook until lentils are tender, about 15 minutes more. Remove saucepan from heat and slightly cool lentil mixture.
  2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease an oven-proof wire rack.
  3. Mix bread crumbs, eggs, olive oil, salt, and Italian seasoning in a bowl; add lentil mixture and stir until well combined. Form mixture into 6 to 8 patties and place on the prepared wire rack; refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  4. Place wire rack with patties onto a baking sheet.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until burgers are firm, about 20 minutes.
