1 c brown lentils
1 quart water
Spray oil
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp curry powder
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
salt to taste

Place water and lentils in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 15 minutes. Drain and spread out on paper towels to dry. (I just left mine in a strainer for about half an hour, tossing a few times) Spray a cookie sheet well with spray oil. Spread out lentils on sheet and give them a light coating of spray. Bake in a 425 degree oven for 15-20 minutes, until crisp, stirring often.
Combine seasonings and toss with hot lentils. Cool and store in an airtight container.
Adjust spices according to taste

Looks yummy! I'm going to try it!

This looks like a great recipe, Cyndi!

Methinks these could be addictive. I cup dry lentils cooked is 716 calories so better not nibble away at the whole batch.

They have the same issue the chick pea crunchies have. Luckily 1 cup dry = a lot more cooked and they are filling and spicy so I actually still have some left

CyndiM... GREAT recipe... I recently bought some lentils and wasn't so sure what to do with them. So far, made them with seasonings, today made them into a soup with chicken and v-8.. now I've got something else to try.

They really ARE incredibly filling. Great recipe! Trying it out tomorrow.

I was just making a batch of these and looked at my bag of brown lentils. It claims there are only 70 calories in 1/4 cup dry. Just to confuse things further a bag of French green lentils list 160 calories for 1/4 cup dry. That's quite a difference even for calorie counts which are notoriously inconsistent.
