Ingredients
200 g red lentils
¾ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon rosemary
1 teaspoon paprika powder
½ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sunflower seeds
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
35 ml olive oil
100 ml water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan circulation).
Add the red lentils to a blender and grind until a fine flour forms.
In a large bowl, combine the lentil flour with baking powder, garlic powder, rosemary, paprika powder, salt, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds.
Add olive oil and water, then stir until a thick dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Place another sheet of parchment paper on top and roll the dough out thinly and evenly using a rolling pin.
Remove the top parchment sheet and cut the dough into cracker shapes using a knife or pizza cutter.
Bake on the middle oven rack for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Allow the crackers to cool completely before serving for maximum crunch.
Notes
Roll the dough very thin for extra crispy crackers.
Add chili flakes or cayenne pepper for a spicy variation.
Nutritional yeast gives the crackers a cheesy flavor without dairy.
Store in an airtight container to maintain crispiness.
