Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roast the squash base by placing the cubed squash, chopped shallot, and garlic on the baking sheet, drizzling with olive oil, and seasoning with salt and pepper. Roast until tender, about 30 minutes.
- Prepare the mixed herb salsa verde by combining minced shallot, lemon zest, minced garlic, capers, sherry vinegar, Dijon mustard, chili flakes, salt, pepper, chopped herbs, and olive oil in a bowl. Stir well and set aside.
- In a food processor, pulse the pecan halves and rolled oats until coarse, then transfer to a mixing bowl.
- Pulse the lentils and millet in the food processor until slightly broken up, then add to the mixing bowl.
- Add the roasted squash, shallot, garlic, ground flax, Dijon mustard, tamari, and water to the food processor and blend until smooth. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Combine the squash purée with the other ingredients in the mixing bowl and mix thoroughly. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Divide the mixture into 6 portions and form into patties about ¾ inch thick. Spray the tops with oil.
- Bake the patties for 35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and firm.
- Serve the patties with the mixed herb salsa verde.
