Nutritious Lentil Chia Flatbread for a Healthy Snack 💪
ingredients:
- 1 cup red lentils, cooked until soft and mashed | approximately 2 cups mashed
- ¼ cup chia seeds | 30 grams
- ¼ cup chickpea flour | 25 grams
- 2 tablespoons olive oil | 30 milliliters
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin | 5 milliliters
- ½ teaspoon sea salt | 2.5 milliliters
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder | 1.25 milliliters
- Water, if needed, 1-2 tablespoons
directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the mashed cooked red lentils, chia seeds, chickpea flour, olive oil, cumin, salt, and turmeric powder.
3. Mix well until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon or two of water until it comes together.
4. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out thinly, about ¼ inch thick.
5. Remove the top sheet of parchment paper and use a pizza cutter or knife to cut the dough into desired flatbread shapes. You can leave it as one large flatbread or cut into smaller pieces.
6. Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the flatbread to the baking sheet.
7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the flatbread is slightly golden brown and firm.
8. Let the flatbread cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven for best results.
