Packed with flavor and lower in sodium, they are the perfect addition to your meal rotation. Whether you prefer to make a big batch and freeze them for later or cook them fresh, these burgers are incredibly versatile and easy to make.
The first step is to cook up some mushrooms and onions in a skillet. Seasoned with liquid aminos or low sodium soy sauce, they are cooked until soft and flavorful. Next, mix together the cooked mushrooms, lentils, ground pumpkin seeds, Ezekiel cereal breadcrumbs, flax seeds, arrowroot starch, and garlic and herb seasonings. Be careful not to overmix the ingredients to avoid a mushy texture. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to rehydrate.
To shape your burgers, use a mason jar ring as a mold. Simply scoop the mixture, form a ball, and press it into the circular mold to create perfect patties. This recipe yields about nine patties, which can be baked in the oven or cooked on a grill. The burgers hold together well and can be enjoyed on their own or on a bun with your favorite toppings.
Packed with protein from the lentils and pumpkin seeds, these veggie burgers are a nutritious and satisfying option for any meal.
