Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 6 patties
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked lentils
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sage
- 1/2 tsp thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked lentils using a fork or potato masher until they form a slightly chunky paste-like consistency.
- Add breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, nutritional yeast, soy sauce, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper to the mashed lentils. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
- Let the mixture rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb moisture and help bind the ingredients.
- Using clean hands, form the mixture into 6 equal-sized patties, each about 1/2 inch thick. Press the edges firmly to ensure they hold together.
- Place the patties on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each patty.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the patties halfway through cooking to ensure even browning and crispy edges.
- Remove from the oven when patties are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Let the patties cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving to help them set and become more stable.
- Serve warm with your favorite breakfast sides like tofu scramble, roasted vegetables, or toast.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time in the morning, prepare the patty mixture the night before and refrigerate it. Just form the patties and bake them in the morning for a quick breakfast!
- Customize Your Flavor: Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices. Adding garlic powder or smoked paprika can give your patties an extra kick!
- Don’t Skip the Resting Time: Allowing the mixture to rest for 5-10 minutes helps the breadcrumbs absorb moisture, making the patties easier to form and less likely to crumble.
- Achieve Perfect Patties: Wet your hands slightly before forming the patties to prevent the mixture from sticking. This will help you shape them neatly!
- Flip with Care: When flipping the patties halfway through baking, use a spatula to gently lift them to avoid breaking. A silicone spatula works wonders!
- Serve with Style: Pair these patties with avocado toast, a fresh fruit salad, or a hearty tofu scramble for a well-rounded breakfast that will keep you energized all morning.
