Lentil burgers with red onions and my favorite dressing. The Nooch is the key to these great tasting burgers. It’s the cheese-y flavor combined with the hearty lentils that make this a BURGER!
1 cup cooked lentils
1/2 cup cooked brown rice
1/2 red onion
1 carrot
1/4 cup toasted sunflower seeds
2 tablespoon nutritional yeast (Nooch)
2 tablespoons flour (e.g., brown rice flour or chickpea flour)
1 teaspoon salt
Make the lentils and brown rice ahead of time.
Preheat oven to 350. Toast sunflower seeds in the oven for about 5 minutes.
Line the baking tray with parchment paper.
Finely dice the onion (saving some for dressing the burgers) and sauté in olive oil and a dash of salt. Dice the carrots and add to the onions. When the vegetables are soft, combine with the lentils, brown rice, sunflower seeds, and Nooch.
Process about 3/4’s of the mixture and then combine back in with the rest. Add the brown rice flour and salt and mix well.
Make 4 standard size burgers or 12 mini burgers. Bake for 20 minutes flipping them over at the 10 minute mark. Freeze leftovers.
