Healthy Vegan Lentil Hot Dogs
I love a good hot dog, but I didn’t like any of the vegan hot dogs I tried in the past, so I had to create one! I love this recipe because it’s:
Healthier than any vegan store bought hot dog I’ve seen.
Super quick and easy to make.
Main ingredients is just lentils.
It’s high in protein and great as a post workout meal!
Ingredients
Lentils
Vital wheat flour
Whole wheat flour
Soy sauce
Mustard
Olive oil
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Smoked paprika
Even though I used cooked red lentils for this recipe, any type of cooked lentils would work, just make sure you don’t over cook them and you drain them properly.
I haven’t tried this recipe with chickpeas instead of lentils yet, but I am guessing that should work too.
How to Make Lentil Hot Dogs?
You do need a food processor, a bowl and a saucepan.
Mix the lentils with the soy sauce and mustard in the food processor.
Pour this mix in a bowl, add the rest of the ingredients, mix/knead with your hands.
Form 12 medium hot dog “sausages”.
Bake them or sauté them.
This Lentil Hot Dog Is
Nut free
Egg-free
Dairy-free (without butter)
Healthier than every vegan hot dog I’ve seen
High in protein
Easy to make
Amazing as lunch, dinner, snack, or as a post-workout meal

Best Lentil Hot Dogs!
This amazing vegan hot dog is the perfect healthy replacement for ultra processed vegan store bought hot dogs. It’s naturally protein-rich, nut free, eggless, easy to make, super tasty and only 85 calories per hot dog!
Ingredients (US Customary)
- 2 1/2 cups cooked lentils (I used red lentils)
- 1/4 cup vital wheat flour
- 1/4 cup whole wheat
- 4 tsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp mustard
- 5 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 3/4 tsp salt
Ingredients (Metric)
- 188 grs cooked lentils (I used red lentils)
- 30 grs vital wheat flour
- 30 grs whole wheat
- 4 tsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp mustard
- 5 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 3/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Add the lentils with the soy sauce and mustard to the food processor and run until smooth (almost like a thick hummus). You might need to scrape the edges of the food processor a few times for this.
- Pour this mix in a bowl, add the rest of the ingredients, mix/knead with your hands and form 12 medium hot dog “sausages”.
- Next: you can either bake them or sauté them. I tried it both ways and it works great!!
- If you bake them, bake at 370 F for 7 min., then flip them and give them another 5-7 minutes.
- If you sauté them, use a nonstick pan and add a bit of olive oil, you will need to flip them often to cook each side, it took me about 4-5 minutes. That’s it!
Notes
Lentils: I used cooked red lentils but any type of cooked lentils would work, just make sure you don't over cook them and drain them properly.
Gluten free? I haven't made a gluten free version yet. Vital wheat flour gives this recipe a great elasticity, so I'm still looking for a good replacement.
