A delicious, baked fritter packed with lentils and black olives - crispy on the outside and so tasty on the inside! These would make a healthy and wonderful appetizer as well as protein and oat packed breakfast!

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons rolled oats
  • 1 cup dry lentils - lentils need to be soaked for 1-4 hours. Once they are soaked I used red, they double in quantity and 1 cup dry lentils yields about 2 cups soaked lentils

  • 1/2 jalapeno chopped seeds removed according to your love of heat
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Olive Oil - for brushing

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  • Add the oats, soaked lentils, ginger, garlic, cumin, salt into a food processors and pulse till lentils are like powder almost.
  • Stir in the chopped onion, California Black Ripe Olives, jalapeno and baking powder
  • Form into circles
  • Flatten each circle
  • Brush with olive oil
  • Bake for 20 minutes
