Lentil Nuggets

Lentil Nuggets are like my fast food! They are really tasty and very versatile too – I can add them as a filling to wraps or sandwiches. I can serve them alongside a green salad if I am being healthy or I can make a batch and use them as snacks or finger food. A less healthy, but still delicious option is to pan fry each nugget in a small drop of oil over medium-high heat until both sides are golden brown polska-ed.com.

To make these, I start by soaking the lentils for a few hours. Then I blend lentils, carrot, corn, peas, vegan cheese, oregano, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and garlic in a food processor. I shape the nuggets with my hands and bake them in the oven. Simple!
