Homemade Vegan Lentil Burger

Lentils may just be the healthiest veggie burger base, and they do a great job mimicking the texture of meat when formed into a patty. Just one cup of lentils contains 18 grams of plant-based protein, and this recipe calls for three cups. There are also 16 grams of fiber per cup of lentils and they’re a good source of B vitamins, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc, which all help to boost immunity and energy.

This low-calorie recipe combines lentils with fresh vegetables, herbs, and seasonings with an egg replacement made with flax seeds and water to form a patty. It only takes 5 minutes to prep the recipe and 10 minutes to cook the burger. Add your favorite toppings like lettuce, pickles, sliced tomato, ketchup, vegan mayo, mustard, and enjoy!
