Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Lentil Patties:
  • 1 cup cooked green lentils
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup grated carrot
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Cashew Aioli:
  • 1/2 cup soaked cashews (soaked 2–4 hours)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Salt to taste
  • For the Beet Slaw:
  • 1/2 cup shredded raw beet
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt to taste
  • Other Ingredients:
  • Burger buns (gluten-free or whole grain)
  • Baby greens or microgreens

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix flaxseed and water in a small bowl and let sit 5 minutes to thicken.
  3. In a food processor, combine lentils, oats, carrots, onion, garlic, flax mix, olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Pulse until well combined but still textured.
  4. Shape mixture into 4 patties and place on baking sheet. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until firm and browned.
  5. While patties bake, blend all cashew aioli ingredients until smooth and creamy.
  6. Toss beet slaw ingredients in a small bowl.
  7. To assemble: spread aioli on the bottom bun, add greens, top with lentil patty, more aioli, beet slaw, and bun top. Serve warm.

Notes

  • You can cook lentils in advance or use canned, drained lentils for convenience.
  • Cashews should be soft for blending—soak longer or boil for 10 minutes if short on time.
  • Use a nonstick skillet to reheat patties for leftovers.
