This website is hard to follow. At least it is for me. I saw this recipe and have wanted to experiment with red lentils for a while. I will get back here when I try it.

Already, I think I would use the air fryer instead of bake. Not sure I have or love nutritional yeast. I know it is supposed to be good for you. It has been years since I tried it so...

- 1 cup red lentils, cooked and mashed
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mix together mashed lentils, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, parsley, and nutritional yeast.
3. Gradually add plant-based milk until the mixture holds together.
