Ingredients

For the Burgers

  • ½ cup toasted walnuts
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked brown lentils or 1 (15 ounce) can, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoons minced onion
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • pinch cayenne optional

For Serving, Optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Grind the toasted walnuts and rolled oats in a food processor until they resemble a course meal. Be careful not to over process them, or you’ll end up with walnut butter.
  3. Mix together all of the burger ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Mash the lentils as you go. (Using a potato masher helps.)
  4. Form the burgers into four patties. If you have one, a ring mold will help shape them, but forming patties by hand is completely fine.
  5. Bake the burgers for 10-12 minutes. Flip them and bake for an addition 8-12 minutes. They should be golden brown and firm.
  6. Serve the burgers on whole wheat buns with your favorite toppings.
