Ingredients

  • 1 cup soaked red split lentils soaked overnight in water, measured after soaking
  • 1 cup minced baby kale
  • 1 cup grated sweet potato
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 flax egg 1 tbsp ground flax with 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup gluten free oats
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • To a food processor, add the lentils, garlic, kale, sweet potato, cumin, paprika, and flax egg. Pulse for 3-5 minutes until fully combined, scrapping down the sides if needed.
  • Transfer mixture to a bowl and stir in the oats. If you find the mixture is too wet to shape, add more oats 1 tbsp at a time.
  • Shape into long finger like "sticks" and place on a baking sheet lined with a silpat or baking sheet.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet, and pan-fry on all sides until golden brown. Fritters might be delicate when flipping so use a spatula and carefully flip them.
  • Serve at room temperature.
