Ingredients

• 1 cup cooked lentils
• 0.5 cup rolled oats
• 0.25 cup chickpea flour
• 1 medium carrot, grated
• 0.5 medium onion, finely diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix ground flaxseed and water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to form a flax egg.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked lentils, rolled oats, and chickpea flour. Mash the lentils slightly with a fork or potato masher, leaving some texture.

Step 3

Add the grated carrot, diced onion, minced garlic, flax egg, soy sauce, olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the mixture holds together. Fold in the parsley, if using.

Step 4

Using clean hands, form the mixture into 8 even-sized patties about 2.5 inches wide and 0.5 inch thick.

Step 5

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the patties in the pan, being careful not to overcrowd them.

Step 6

Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. If necessary, cook them in batches, adding more oil as needed.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 8

Serve immediately as part of a breakfast plate, or use them as a filling for sandwiches or wraps. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
