Spicy Green Lentil Burgers have lots of texture, wonderful flavor enhanced with the spices for a great veggie burger recipe.

Spicy Green Lentil Burgers are sitting on their own small white plate and are slathered with condiments. Topped with curly lettuce.

Spicy Green Lentil Burgers are my favorite veggie burgers. You would think that all the combinations possible have already been used. Nope.

This one has lots of texture, wonderful flavor enhanced with the spices and the best veggie combination you could ask for.

An easy mix and the ‘burgers’ fry up so nice and get a crispy outside layer. That is important to me.

Try these soon so that you are not missing out and your kids will love them too.

Author Ginny McMeans

Ingredients

  • 1 cup green lentils dried
  • 1/2 onion chopped
  • 1 carrot finely chopped in a processor
  • 3/4 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup pepitas you could use sunflower kernels to
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed Meal and 3 tablespoons water, mimics and egg
  • 3/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 4 tablespoons tamari, low sodium
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil for frying the 'burgers'

Instructions

Cook the lentils:

  • Put 2 cups water and 1 cup dried lentils in a large saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Turn down the heat and cook for 20 minutes.
  • Drain the liquid off of the lentils.
  • Set the lentils aside.

Now for the rest:

  • Mix the flaxseed meal with the water and set aside so that it can gel a bit.
  • In a large bowl add the cooked lentils, the flax seed meal mixture and the remainder of the ingredients. Mix well.
  • Form the patties so that they will fit the shape of the buns that you have.
  • If the pattys seem to moist and won't hold their shape well enough add more breadcrumbs. You can use 1/4 cup of panko also.
  • Heat the coconut oil in a frying pan and cook the lentil patties on each side.
  • Spread your buns with all of your favorite condiments and add lettuce and onion of your choice too.

TO FREEZE:

To freeze place the patties on a baking sheet before they are fried.

Put 6 on each cookie sheet – spaced out evenly. Slide the cookie sheets into the freezer for about 30 minutes or until they are frozen.

Take the cookie sheets out of the freezer. Use a spatula to slide off each patty to store in a rigid sided container or a freezer bag.

Place a small piece of waxed paper between each patty for easy removal. Pack in a rigid sided container or freezer bag.

TO PREPARE AFTER FREEZING:
Take out as many patties as you want and fry in a little bit of hot oil for 8 to 10 minutes on each side.

Fix up your hamburger buns with all of the condiments that you like, place on a patty and enjoy.

    I used 2 tablespoons of low sodium Tamari to help cut the sosium. Very tasty.

    Thank you so much for letting me know Naomi. That means the world to me!

    We have been eating these burgers for a few years now and I am yet to find another recipe that is even close to being as delicious as this one.

    Wonderful Simon! So glad you found it. 🙂

    Sounds fantastic. Something new to try. Thanks.

    Yes you sure could. It would be a little different in texture but it would work.

    Could you sub the breadcrumbs for almond meal to make these lower in carbs?

    Did anyone else find these patties didn’t stick together? I made them tonight and they taste delicious but were very crumbly and fell apart.

  9. Ginny McMeans says

    June 15, 2014 at 10:08 am

    Yes, they sure will. Cut down on all of the other ingredients though by about half.

  10. Ginny McMeans says

    June 15, 2014 at 10:07 am

    Yes, both ways. With grilling I would put them on a piece of foil because bean burgers tend to fall apart.

    I’ve got a can of green lentils I need to use. Will they work?

  12. Amanda says

    May 30, 2014 at 12:34 pm

    Hi, I’m just wondering if these would work baked or grilled, instead of fried?

    You are amazing Hollie! Ground your own – I just love that. Thank you for your feedback and I hope you get to try lots of my recipes. 🙂

    My family enjoyed this recipe. We are out of flax meal, so I improvised by grinding my own. Turned out a little crumbly, but oh so tasty! Thank you! I plan to try out more of your recipes.
