Gluten Free and Vegan Lentil Fritters

To prepare the vegan lentil fritters start cooking the lentils in water and salt in a large pan for about 45 minutes until soft and most of the water has been absorbed. Set aside.

Heat the oven to 200°C (180° fan). Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper.

Heat the oil in a pan and cook the onions, carrot and parsnips for about 5 minutes until soft.

Put into a bowl and stir in the lentils, vegetables, pepper, soy sauce, oats and breadcrumbs.

Shape the warm mixture into 8-10 patties and press in the sesame seeds on both sides.

Place the lentil fritters on the baking tray and bake for about 15 minutes until the tops are golden.
