Instructions
- You can watch the video for visual instructions.Rinse the red lentils well under running water, soak them in a bowl with plenty of water for at least 2 hours, then drain, rinse again, and pat dry.
- Blend the soaked lentils, fresh water, garlic, and seasonings in a blender until completely smooth.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C and line a large baking sheet with oiled parchment paper (my paper measures 30x40 cm).
- Pour the blended mixture onto the lined baking tray and spread it evenly with a spatula or spoon.Aim for 2–3 mm thickness. Thinner crackers bake crispier, but avoid spreading too thin, or they may burn.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the pan from the oven.
- Cut the crackers into squares, rectangles, or triangles (I recommend using scissors), gently loosening from the parchment paper.
- Drizzle with 1-2 tablespoons of avocado or olive oil, toss gently to coat, and spread the crackers out over the tray again.
- Optionally sprinkle with more paprika and bake for a further 10 minutes, or until the lentil crackers are golden brown and crispy.The edges may cook faster than the middle. If so, remove them first to avoid burning.
- Let the homemade lentil crackers cool completely to harden, then enjoy!
