Lentil and Veggie Patties

An easy, tasty, and even healthy recipe for lentil veggie patties. I used a variety of vegetables because I love their flavor and texture in every bite, and I added lentils because it just takes these to the next level.
You can eat these hot or at room temperature. Make a large batch because before you know it, they’ll be gone, one bite after another.
These are colorful and beautiful, and most importantly – delicious!
A delicious and healthy lunch or supper for the whole family.

Makes 15 patties

Preparation:

1. Soak the lentils for around an hour. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the lentils for around 30 minutes until they soften, then drain.

2. Heat a pan with 2 Tbsp of oil, dice the onion and sauté until it starts to get golden. Chop the garlic and sauté it with the onion briefly, then remove from the heat.

3. Grate the vegetables and add to the onion along with the lentils, egg , flour, salt and pepper.

4. Form patties and dry on both sides until golden.

5. If you prefer to bake them:
Preheat an oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with greased parchment paper and arrange the patties on the paper. Bake one side for around 25 minutes and then the other side for around 10 minutes.
