Description
Crispy Homemade Lentil Chips are a crunchy, protein-packed snack that outshines store-bought chips in flavor and nutrition.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup dried red lentils (or green lentils)
- 2–3 tablespoons tapioca or cornstarch
- 1/4 cup neutral oil (grapeseed or light olive)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2–3 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Cook 1 cup dried red lentils or soak 1 cup dried green lentils until very soft, then drain well.
- Blend the lentils with tapioca starch, oil, salt, garlic powder, and water to make a smooth batter.
- Spread the batter paper-thin on a lined baking sheet.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18–25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway, until golden and firm.
Notes
Ensure to dry the lentils thoroughly for best results. An even, thin layer is crucial for consistent crunch.
