Lentil Tomato Bites (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 tbsp dried basil
02 - ½ tsp cayenne pepper
03 - Pinch of salt and pepper
04 - 180ml water
05 - 4 tbsp tomato puree
06 - 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
07 - 140g red split lentils
08 - 1 tbsp maple syrup
09 - 1 slice onion
10 - ½ tsp turmeric
11 - 1 tsp smoked paprika
12 - 2 cloves garlic

# Instructions:

01 - Let the lentils sit in salted water for an hour at least, or overnight if you can.
02 - After draining and rinsing, toss the lentils and everything else except basil into a blender. Blend until it's nice and smooth.
03 - Now stir in that dried basil until it’s mixed in well.
04 - On a baking dish lined with non-stick paper, spread out the mix evenly all the way to the edges.
05 - Pop it in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) and leave it for 30 minutes.
06 - Once the chips are out, let them rest for ten minutes. Peel off the paper and slice into strips, then cut those into triangles.
07 - Directly place the triangles onto the oven rack and bake at 170°C (340°F) for 5-15 minutes. Watch closely—pull them out when the edges look golden.
08 - Eat them right away or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.

# Notes:

01 - Keep an eye on the chips in the second bake—they can brown fast. Take them out as soon as their edges go golden.
