High protein, lentil hemp patties have been a staple on the menu this past week because they are a great way to mix up the traditional beans and rice combination that I am certain almost everyone gets a bit tired of eating at some point in their lives. In addition, the lentil hemp patties are vegan, grain free, and oil free!
Also, with over seventeen grams of protein, twelve grams of fiber, and no sugar, these lentil hemp patties make an awesome nutritional boost to any meal!
Lately, Jake and I have been trying to dramatically increase our protein intake, and this high-protein recipe has been quite handy at adding variety to the menu. We have used these lentil hemp patties for burgers, sandwiches, lunch bowls, and wraps, and I am sure there are even more ways to use this versatile recipe! I always love feedback on my recipes, so comment and let me know what ideas you have and what meals you create using these lentil hemp patties!
A highlight of this recipe is that these lentil hemp patties require very little preparation! The food processor does all the chopping and mixing in a matter of seconds, and then, all that has to be done is divide the dough into balls, roll the balls in hemp hearts, flatten the balls into patties, bake, and serve!
The leftovers store beautifully in the refrigerator for over a week and in the freezer for two to three months and reheat well in the oven, so these patties are also a great meal prep option!
