Today I prepared some delicious lentil burgers. They are really easy to make and very tasty. I preferred cooking them in an air fryer, but you can easily cook them as you like. They are also delicious on the stovetop. Lentil burgers are perfect to serve as a light main course, or to fill a good and healthy sandwich, accompanied by vegetables and sauces of your choice. I used dried lentils, but you can easily use canned lentils to save a step. You might also be interested.
