Ingredients

1 cup dried lentils (green or brown)
3 cups vegetable broth
1 tablespoon oil
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon salt
non-stick spray

Instructions

Rinse and drain the green lentils to remove debris. Add the lentils and broth to a small pot and bring to a boil, then simmer for 18 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 425°F.
Once the lentils are cooked through, strain them and gently pat them dry with a paper towel to remove any moisture.
Add the lentils to a mixing bowl. Add the oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Toss well to coat.
Lightly coat a sheet pan with non-stick spray and spread the seasoned lentils in a thin or single layer.
Roast the lentils for 15 to 20 minutes, making sure to give the lentils a stir at the halfway mark. For even crispier lentils, you can broil them for an additional 2 minutes at the end.
