Ingredients
- 1 cup split red lentils, rinsed and drained
-
2 cups and 2 tablespoons water
- 1/4 teaspoon Himalayan sea salt
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
Directions
In a medium bowl, combine rinsed lentils and water and cover lightly. Let the lentils and water stand, at room temperature, for at least 6 to 12 hours., but to not drain lentils
Add contents of the bowl, oil and salt to a blender and blend on HIGH until contents are blended into a smooth consistency. Scrape into a bowl or measuring cup
While blending, heat a nonstick skillet or a nonstick griddle, to medium heat. Place one cup of batter in the center of the pan. Using a spoon, spread the batter into a 6 inch circle. You'll then want to cook this for 1-2 minutes or until the surface of the tortilla looks dry. Using a spatula, flip the tortilla and brown the other side for another minute
Repeat with the remaining batter
Now it is time to turn these floppy tortillas into chips. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees and line with large cooking sheets. Make a stack of the tortillas, then cut the staff in quarters, halve
Make the Chips
On a cutting board, evenly stack the tortillas. Cut the stack in half, and then in quarters and so on. Arrange wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until chips appear dry and somewhat crisp. Turn off the oven; let chips remain in oven for 15 minutes longer. Remove from oven and let cool completely on baking sheets.
Recipe Note
Storage: Chips can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks
Tip: Red lentils can be usually found with the dried beans
Tip: Be sure to use split, not whole red lentils for this recipe. It should not be a problem as split red lentils are far more common (whole red lentils tend to be available in Southeast Asian markets, or, occasionally, in bulk food sections of very well stocked natural foods stores
