Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Cooked lentils – 1 cup
  • Cooked chickpeas – 1 cup
  • Onion finely chopped – 1 small
  • Garlic minced – 2 cloves
  • Carrot grated – ½ cup
  • Rolled oats – ½ cup
  • Fresh parsley – 2 tablespoons
  • Ground cumin – 1 teaspoon
  • Smoked paprika – ½ teaspoon
  • Salt – ½ teaspoon
  • Black pepper – ¼ teaspoon
  • Lemon juice – 1 tablespoon
  • Olive oil – 1 tablespoon for pan-frying or brushing if baking

Method
 

  1. Mash lentils and chickpeas in a bowl or food processor. Leave it chunky—no one wants mushy energy.
  2. Add onion, garlic, carrot, oats, parsley, and all the spices. Stir like you're on a cooking show.
  3. Squeeze in lemon juice and mix until everything holds together like your favorite pair of leggings.
  4. Form mixture into patties with your hands. Channel that sculpting energy from contouring your cheekbones.
  5. For pan-frying, heat oil in a skillet over medium. Cook patties 4–5 minutes each side until golden and fabulous.
  6. For baking, preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place patties on parchment-lined sheet, brush with oil, and bake for 25 minutes, flipping halfway.

📝 Additional Notes/Tips

  • Add chili flakes if your ex just texted you and you need spice therapy.
  • Serve with tahini, vegan mayo, or avocado—because dry patties are a crime.
  • Make a double batch and freeze like a responsible adult meal-prepper.
  • These also make killer sliders. Or throw them in a pita with greens and strut.
  • Pro tip: don’t skip lemon juice. It’s not just for drama—it balances the whole flavor party.
