Instructions
- 1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- 2
Add minced garlic and chopped mushrooms to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms release their liquid and start to brown, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- 3
In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils, panko breadcrumbs, fresh parsley, nutritional yeast, soy sauce, smoked paprika, and dried thyme.
- 4
Add the cooled onion and mushroom mixture to the bowl. Mix everything together thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- 5
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties, about 3/4 inch thick. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more panko. If too dry, add a tiny splash of water or vegetable broth.
- 6
Heat a lightly oiled skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the patties for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
- 7
Toast your burger buns if desired. Assemble your burgers with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Pro Tips
This recipe packs 18g of protein per serving. For even more protein, add a scoop of plant-based protein powder or extra beans.
High in fiber at 10g per serving, this dish will keep you full and satisfied for hours.
Don't skip the seasoning. Vegan comfort food shines when you're generous with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Taste as you go and adjust seasoning before serving. Plant-based dishes often benefit from a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of salt at the end.
