Course Snack

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked brown lentils
  • ½ tsp cumin powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 150℃ (300℉)
  • In a large bowl, add all the ingredients and mix through to make sure that the lentils are completely coated.
  • Spread the lentils out on a lined baking tray. Bake in the oven for around 35 minutes, check if they are too soft, then place them back in the oven, turn the oven off and let them cook as the oven cools. Check on them occasionally to ensure they are not getting too overcooked. You want them crunchy but not hard and unedible.
  • All them to cool, then place them in an airtight jar or other container. Great as a snack by themselves or in a salad.
