1x2x3x

• 1 cup butternut squash cubed
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• ¼ cup tomato chutney
• ½ cup red lentils cooked
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil not toasted
• 1 tablespoon garam masala
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 cup wheat gluten

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss cubes with olive oil and spread on a baking sheet. Roast for 45 minutes or until tender. Set aside.
• Lower oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Have another piece of parchment paper or baking mat and another cookie sheet.
• Combine squash, chutney, lentils, oil, garam masala and salt in a large bowl. Combine well with a potato masher.
• Add breadcrumbs and gluten and stir well.
• Divide preparation into ½ cup portions. Shape into burgers, about ½ inch thick. You should have 6 burgers.
• Place burgers on a prepared cookie sheet. Cover with another layer of parchment paper or baking mat and top with a second cookie sheet to keep burgers from puffing up too much.
• Bake for 35 minutes (no need to flip halfway through) until burgers are golden brown and firm.
