Spicy Crispy Lentils
Made with Canadian-grown French Green Lentils, this recipe is a crowd pleaser.
Method
Rinse lentils well under cold running water. Place lentils in a large pot with the water and salt. Bring water, lentils and salt to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the lentils are tender, about 10 minutes.
While lentils are cooking:
Heat oven to 163*C/325*F
Prepare a baking tray with parchment paper lining
Mix together olive oil, salt, garlic powder, cumin powder and cayenne pepper
Drain the cooked lentils in a colander, run cold water over them to cool them down quickly. Allow the lentils to drain well. Place the cooked, drained lentils on a paper towel or dishcloth and pat dry.
Place lentils in a large bowl. Pour in the olive oil / spice mixture and toss to coat well.
Spread lentils evenly on the lined baking sheet and bake for approximately 20 minutes, stirring once at the 10 minute mark.
Allow lentils to cool then enjoy!
