INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cooked Lentils (198g)
1/2 cup Cooked Quinoa (93g)
1 Large Egg (50g)
1 tbsp Rolled Oats (10g)
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (4.5g)
1/2 cup Mixed Bell Peppers (75g)
1/2 cup Zucchini (65g)
1/4 cup Red Onion (40g)
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt (60g)
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a mixing bowl, mash the cooked lentils slightly with a fork to retain some texture.
Add the cooked quinoa, large egg, and rolled oats to the lentils. Mix well to combine.
Season the mixture with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly distributed.
Form the mixture into small, patty-shaped cakes.
Lightly brush the patties with a bit of extra virgin olive oil and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the cakes in the oven for about 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy on the edges.
While the cakes bake, chop the mixed bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion. Toss them with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Spread the vegetables on a separate baking sheet and roast them in the oven for about 15 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Once both the cakes and roasted vegetables are done, serve them together with a side of plain nonfat Greek yogurt as a tangy dipping sauce.
