These flavorful patties are baked instead of fried! I modified this recipe from The Great American Detox Diet by Alex Jamieson. These burgers freeze well if individually wrapped. Reheat them in the microwave or oven or on the grill.

ingredients
- 1⁄4 cup onion, grated
- 1⁄4 cup bell pepper, grated
- 1 1⁄2 cups cooked lentils (or 1 15-ounce can, drained)
- 1⁄2 cup flax seed, ground
- 1⁄2 cup almonds or 1/2 cup other nuts, crushed
- 2 tablespoons shredded carrots
- 2 tablespoons shredded celery (remove veins with a veggie peeler)
- 1 fresh jalapenos (optional) or 1 other hot pepper, finely minced (optional)
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Braggs liquid aminos or 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1⁄2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon curry powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground red pepper
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Squeeze grated onion and bell pepper in a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Mash most of the lentils.
- Combine all of the ingredients. Your hands are the best tool.
- For best flavor, allow the ingredients to marry by letting the mixture sit, covered, at room temperature for an hour.
- Use a 1/3- or 1/2-cup measuring cup to scoop the mixture. Pack tightly into cup then invert onto greased baking sheet for a total of 6 scoops, leaving lots of room in between. Smash each scoop into a patty shape using your hands or other flat surface.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Be VERY CAREFUL when you flip them, as they are still rather delicate.
- Serve with whole-grain buns and all the condiments.

Tasty! Kind of a long list of ingredients but it all came together quick. I left out the celery and carrot and cooked them on the griddle and they held together well. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

I plan on making these burgers can you freeze them after the veggie patties been made? Can you add Beans to the burger pattie as well?
-
I would like to try these, pls can you tell me which lentils you used -
This recipe is called "Spicy, Low-Fat Veggie Burgers (Vegan, Gluten-Free, Soy-Free", and yet it called for a 1 teaspoon Braggs liquid aminos (which contained soy sauce) or 1 teaspoon soy sauce. My question is how can this recipe be "soy-free" if "soy sauce" is included in the ingredient????

It would have been nice to have this. I'm a diabetic, and type-b pos. Lentils, black pepper, and tomatoes, are not recommended for type-b pos blood types or people with a family history of kidney disease. I hope to be able to find a substitute. http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/types-foods-avoid-b-positive-blood-type-9805.html
