🌱 Green Power Red Lentil Flatbread
🥣 Ingredients:
1 cup red lentils (dry, split)
2 cups water (for soaking)
1 packed cup fresh greens (spinach, kale, or a mix)
1 clove garlic (optional)

⏱ Instructions:
1. Soak the lentils:
Place red lentils in a bowl with 2 cups of water. Soak for at least 2 hours (or overnight). No need to cook them!
2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
3. Blend the batter:
Drain and rinse lentils. Add them to a blender with:
Fresh greens
Garlic (if using)
Salt and spices
Olive oil
Add 1/4 cup water to start, blend until smooth (add more water as needed to get a pancake batter-like consistency).
4. Spread on tray:
Pour batter onto the tray. Use a spatula to spread it into a thin rectangle or circle (about 1/8–1/4 inch thick).
5. Bake:
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until edges are firm and slightly golden. For crispier flatbread, flip halfway through and bake another 5–10 minutes.
6. Cool & serve:
Let cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy as a flatbread, wrap, pizza base, or dipper.

🔄 Variations:

Mix in nutritional yeast or a touch of lemon juice for a cheesy/tangy flavor.
For a spicy kick, add chili flakes or jalapeño to the batter.
