Lentil fritters are a savory, nutritious dish made from blended lentils, herbs, and spices, often pan-fried or baked to golden perfection. Originating from Middle Eastern, Indian, and African cuisines, these fritters showcase the versatility of lentils as a staple ingredient. Packed with plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like folate and iron, lentil fritters are an excellent choice for vegetarians and vegans. Garlic, onion, turmeric, cilantro, and cumin are common seasonings that not only enhance flavor but also deliver added health benefits. While they’re a wholesome snack or appetizer, some variations may include frying in oil, which can increase calorie and fat content. However, opting to bake or air-fry instead preserves their nutritional profile. Lentil fritters can be enjoyed on their own, paired with yogurt-based dips, or served alongside salads for a balanced, satisfying meal.
