Fries
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Set aside.

Lentils

Assemble Bowls
- Assemble the bowls. Start with a bed on lettuce then top with lentils, tomatoes, onions, pickles, fries and vegan cheese, if using. Drizzle with special sauce.
Notes
- Worcestershire sauce substitution - mix together 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon hoisin sauce and ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar.
- Extra Protein - add textured vegetable protein(TVP) to the lentils for an extra boost of protein and a "meatier" texture. Combine 1 cup of tvp with 1 cup of vegetable broth. Let sit for about 10 minutes to rehydrate. Then add to lentils and warm on the stove. Add additional seasoning to taste.
- You can use store bought fries to save time. Bake according to package instruction.
- You can use vegan mayo instead of non dairy yogurt if preferred.
- Double the recipe for special sauce if you like a lot of sauce.
