Loaded with fresh leafy green spinach, these protein-packed vegan fried tofu lentil bites are scrumptiously healthy and addictive!

Ingredients
  • ½ cup green lentils
  • 7 ounces soft tofu, drained and cut into cubes
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 cup sunflower seed oil
  • ½ cup unsweetened soy milk
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • sea salt to taste
Directions
  1. 1. Place lentils into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; soak for 2 hours.
  2. 2. Place lentils, tofu, spinach, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a bowl; mix by hand. Incorporate flour until just combined.
  3. 3. Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of the tofu mixture gently into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
