Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup dried red lentils
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp cumin
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Soak Lentils: Rinse the red lentils under cold water until the water runs clear, indicating they are free of dirt and impurities. Soak them for about an hour to soften and prepare for blending.
- Blend Ingredients: Drain the soaked lentils and place them in a food processor. Add the olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, and salt. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and uniform in texture.
- Spread Mixture: Evenly spread the blended lentil mixture onto the prepared baking sheet to a thickness of about an eighth of an inch. This ensures they bake evenly and become crispy.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the crackers are crisp.
- Cool and Cut: Allow the baked mixture to cool slightly so it firms up. Once cooled, cut into squares or wedges to form individual crackers ready to serve.
Notes
- Make sure to soak the lentils properly to achieve a smooth blend and better texture.
- Adjust spices like garlic powder and cumin to your preference for more or less intensity.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crunchiness.
- These crackers make a great gluten-free and high-protein snack option.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the edges for perfect doneness.
