Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the broccoli florets with the olive oil, a pinch of salt, and garlic powder, then roast for 18 minutes until the edges are lightly charred.
In a medium bowl, roughly mash the cooked lentils and chickpeas with a fork, leaving some whole for texture.
Stir in the egg whites, vital wheat gluten, cumin, and smoked paprika until a thick, uniform dough forms.
Shape the mixture into two even patties and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the binder to set.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and sear the patties for 5 minutes per side until a golden crust forms.
Place the Swiss cheese on top of the patties during the final minute of cooking and cover the pan until it is melty.
Serve the burgers immediately alongside the roasted broccoli for a nutrient-dense, high-protein meal.
