Vegan Lentil Burgers Recipe
These burgers have the most perfect meaty texture and flavor! They are incredibly simple to make and the best part is they are both gluten-free and low FODMAP! I’ve seen so many vegan burgers that look great but unfortunately are not gluten-free or FODMAP friendly. So I’m so happy that these burgers can be enjoyed by people who are both following a low FODMAP diet and/or are gluten-free!
What ingredients you will need to make these Vegan Lentil Burgers?
- ground flax seeds
- canned lentils
- gluten-free bread
- scallions
- parsley
- yellow mustard
- maple syrup
- gluten-free flour
How to make these Vegan Lentil Burgers?
There are only 3 steps that you will need to follow to make these burgers
STEP 1 – MAKE THE FALX EGG
To a bowl, add 2 tbsp of ground flax seeds plus 6 tbsp of water. Give it a stir and set it aside.
STEP 2 -MAKE THE BURGER MIXTURE
Rinse the canned lentils, add them to a bowl, and using a fork or an immersion blender mash them. Get a big mixing bowl and start combining all of the ingredients. First, add the mashed lentils, then the flax egg, and gluten-free flour. Next, soak bread slices, squeeze out all the water from the bread and add it to the mixing bowl. Then chop scallions and parsley and add them to the bowl as well.
Lastly, make the mustard sauce. In a small bowl, combine yellow mustard maple syrup (or agave). Add only 1/2 of the mustard sauce to the burger mix and (reserve the other half for serving).
Using your hands mix everything together until incorporated.
When the burger mixture is ready you can start forming the patties. If you don’t want to cook them right away you can refrigerate the patties for up to 2-3 days or freeze them for up to 3 months.
STEP 3- COOK THE BURGERS
Next heat up a little bit of olive oil over medium heat in a skillet for at least five minutes. Once the skillet is thoroughly heated, cook the burgers on each side for about 3-5 minutes.
FODMAP Tips:
- Canned lentils are fodmap friendly in 46g per serving. This recipe required 200g lentils but makes 5 burgers. This means there is 40g of lentils per burger.
- Use only the green parts of the scallions.
