Vegan Lentil Burger

Vegan Lentil BurgerBefore switching to a vegan diet, I had never eaten a lentil in my life. I had no idea what they were or how delicious they could be. Now, Amelia is making all sorts of amazing things with lentils, including this delicious Vegan Lentil Burger.

People always ask us vegan eaters where we get our protein. Lentils are one of the best sources of plant based protein and this recipe packs 19 grams of it. To put that in perspective, plant based nutrition experts like Dr. John McDougall say that most adults only need between 30 and 50 grams of protein per day. That means this burger has about half of your daily protein requirements.

We like the Ozery Bakery OneBuns to cut down on processed carbs, but you can use regular hamburger buns if you want to. You can also use ketchup, mustard, Vegenaise or your other favorite toppings. Pairs well with oven roasted red potatoes or a side salad.

Oven Roasted Red Potatoes

Roasted Red PotatoesThis Oven Roasted Red Potatoes recipe is a fast, easy and delicious side dish that goes with just about anything. It’s especially good as a side dish with your Tofu Scramble or Vegan Lentil Burger.

This recipe calls for 1/2 pound of red potatoes, but you can easily double the recipe and have plenty of leftovers for the week.

Leave the skins on. They have lots of extra fiber and nutrients.

You can make it using 2 tsp of olive oil without the vegetable broth, but we recommend using oil and vegetable broth together to cut back on the calories and add more flavor.

Like so many of our recipes, this one may have a hard time making it to your plate. We tend to eat most of them while we’re getting everything else ready. May you have better luck with these as a side dish instead of an appetizer!
