Description

Delicious oven baked vegan lentil patties packed with veggies and herbs. Tender one the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. A great savoury snack for kids, appetiser or side.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (200g) red split lentils
  • 1/2 a brown onion, diced
  • 1 large (150g) grated zucchini, squeezed*
  • 1 cup (100g) grated carrot
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • Olive oil, to cook 

Instructions

  1. To cook red lentils, rinse them under running water to remove debris. Place lentils in a pot with 3 cups of water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes until tender and partially breaking apart. If there is still liquid in the pot afterwards, drain the lentils in a fine-meshed sieve.
  2. Squeeze shredded zucchini of excess water with a paper towel. This is important, so don’t forget!
  3. Preheat the oven to 180C/ 350F, line a sheet pan with parchment paper and lightly grease with oil.
  4. Once the lentils are cooked and cooled, add them to a large bowl along with the onion, carrot, herbs, garlic, breadcrumbs and seasonings. 
  5. Form the mixture into 12 patties (about 1/4 cup each) and one-inch thick. Roll the mixture into a ball and gently flatten.
  6. Place the patties on the baking sheet and spray the tops with oil. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden, flipping halfway.
  7. Serve with your favourite dipping sauce and fresh lemon.

Notes

Stovetop option: Heat a skillet with 1 tablespoon of oil, and fry the patties in the oil for about 3-4 minutes per side. They should be brown and crispy. Cook in batches, depending on the side of your pan.*
