Ingredients
1 cup soaked red split lentils (soaked overnight in water, measured after soaking)
To a food processor, add the lentils, garlic, kale, sweet potato, cumin, paprika, and flax egg. Pulse for 3-5 minutes until fully combined, scrapping down the sides if needed.
Transfer mixture to a bowl and stir in the oats. If you find the mixture is too wet to shape, add more oats 1 tbsp at a time.
Shape into long finger like "sticks" and place on a baking sheet lined with a silpat or baking sheet.
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet, and pan-fry on all sides until golden brown. Fritters might be delicate when flipping so use a spatula and carefully flip them.
