Rinse the green lentils under cool water, then combine in a pot with water or vegetable broth. Boil then simmer for 25-30 minutes until tender. Drain excess liquid.

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion for 4-5 minutes until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and grated carrot, cooking for 3 more minutes.

In a mixing bowl, combine cooked lentils with sautéed vegetables. Add breadcrumbs, parsley, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Mix well.

Shape the mixture into 4-6 patties. Chill in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes to help them set.

Preheat skillet or grill over medium heat. Cook patties for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Serve on buns or plates, topped with preferred toppings. Enjoy your delicious Green Lentil Burgers!
