Easy red lentil burgers that are deliciously seasoned and divine! You can pair them with salad or put them between burger buns…there are many ways to enjoy these tasty and vegetarian lentil cakes.

I seriously LOVE lentils! Lentils are one of those ingredients that I always have in my pantry and rely on almost every week. They can be stored for a long period of time and are extremely versatile.

I like to try out different recipes using lentils as the main ingredient. So recently I decided to make those pan-fried lentil burgers, and they turned out so tasty! I put them between burger buns and served them with a fresh garlic sauce....yum.
