While I’ve never liked traditional (meat) burgers, I used to make a mean (cruelty-free) beet-burger that even my omnivore brother enjoyed. However, when I started on the low-FODMAP diet it took me a while to discover a delicious, gut-friendly, wholesome replacement. After a few attempts this is what I came up with!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
If you want even burgers you can shape them roughly with your hands and then use a round cookie cutter, to get a more uniform appearance.
Make sure your celeriac chips are covered evenly with the cayenne pepper, unless you want to be playing Russian roulette!
Please note that (according to Monash) a safe serving of canned lentils is 1/2 cup. Just incase you love these and want to eat all 6 remember, 3 is your maximum allowance!
