Easy Red Lentil Patties
Report
Red lentil patties are simple to whip up, amazingly versatile, and almost foolproof. They’re versatile for serving on top of a salad, as an appetizer with a nice avocado mayo, or on a bun as a tasty red lentil burger.

Ingredients
- 1 to 2 Tablespoons of neutral oil (avocado, grape seed, canola)
- ½ cup of uncooked amaranth
- ½ cup of uncooked red lentils
- 2 cups of water
- 1 medium russet potato grated
- 1 small onion chopped
- 2 garlic cloves chopped
- ½ cup of parsley chopped
- 1 Tablespoon of nutritional yeast (optional)
- 1 Tablespoon of mustard
- 2 Tablespoons of ketchup
- ½ teaspoon of cumin
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1 teaspoon of sea salt
- ½ teaspoon of black pepper
- 2 Tablespoons of cornmeal
- 2 Tablespoons of all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of neutral high heat oil (avocado, organic canola, grape seed) on a baking sheet and spread evenly.
- In a medium pot, add amaranth, lentils, and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, cover the pot with a lid, and reduce to a simmer. Let cook undisturbed for 10 to 15 minutes until water is absorbed and amaranth and lentils are cooked. It will be porridgey, let it cool.
- While amaranth is cooking, grate the potato into a large mixing bowl. With your hands squeeze the shredded potato over the sink to release excess water. Return to bowl and add chopped onion, garlic, and parsley. Add cooked amaranth/lentil mixture and mix well with your hands. Add mustard, ketchup, spices, cornmeal, and flour. Mix well.
- Form into small patties, then place them on the baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Notes
- Don’t skip the oil on the pan! It’s what gives the lentil patties a crispy exterior.
- Be sure to squeeze the potatoes (or zucchini if you add some). Any excess water can make the lentil patties soggy or overly mushy.
- Extend the cooking time if you decide to make larger or thicker patties.
