Notes
Meal prep friendly plant based lentil patties recipe
These Spicy vegan Lentil Burger Patties come together in only 5 minutes and you can make them in advance and freeze for later. I like to make a double batch, shape them into burger patties and freeze them like that. When I’m ready to eat, I just get them out of the freezer an hour in advance and plop them on the grill and I’m ready to eat in 20 minutes.
You can also put them straight from the freezer and on the grill, but they will take a little extra time to cook all the way through. You could also pre-cook the burger patties and freeze them for later. It works just as well and will cut a couple of minutes off the reheating time.
When I freeze my burger patties, I like to place them in an airtight container, stacked on top of each other with baking paper between the patties to keep them from freezing together. It just makes reheating them so much easier (plus you can take out 1-2 patties at a time, without needing to defrost all of them at once).
