Today I prepared some delicious lentil burgers. They are really easy to make and very tasty. I preferred the cooking in air fryer, but you can easily cook them as you prefer. They are delicious even in a pan. Lentil burgers are perfect to serve as a light main dish 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. You save a step. You might also be interested.
