Easy Lentil Fritters

Easy Lentil Fritters are perfect for a snack or a meal! It’s such a great way to use up those leftover cooked lentils!

I had a bag of Lentils that was about to expire so I was thinking of ways to use them up. Usually I use them in Salads, Chili or as a fill with meat in Tacos.

But I wanted something different, something I could snack on. So I did some experimenting and came up with these yummy Fritters!

All you need to make this is:

• 1 Cup Cooked Lentils
• 1 Clove Minced Garlic
• 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
• 1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
• 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
• 1 Egg
• 1/2 cup Gluten Free Panko
• Coconut Oil for frying

In a food processor blend together Lentils, Garlic, Paprika, Cumin, Salt and Pepper. Remove blade and stir in the Egg and Panko (I used a gluten free panko).

Form into small balls. Add enough oil to a large frying pan to cover the bottom. Heat on med/high heat. When oil starts to shimmer add the Lentil balls to the pan.

Gently press them down to make them flatter, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Cook 5 minutes each side or until desired crispiness. 

For the Dipping Sauce combine Mayo, Smoked Paprika, Chili Powder, Cumin and Lime Juice together. Omg you guys, this sauce is soooo good!

I hope you love this recipe as much as I do! It’s:

• Easy to make
• Healthy
• Crispy
• Flavorful
• and so Scrumptious
