High-Protein Gluten-Free Lentil Flatbread with Herbs

This easy, protein-packed flatbread is made with red lentils, making it naturally gluten-free and nutritious. It’s perfect as a wrap, a side dish, or even a pizza base!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup red lentils, rinsed (200g)
  • 1 ½ cups water (360ml)
  • ½ tsp salt (2.5g)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (5g)
  • Optional: 1 tsp cumin, ½ tsp black pepper, 2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (like parsley or cilantro)

Instructions:

  1. Soak the Lentils:
    • Place the rinsed lentils in a bowl with the water. Let them soak for at least 2 hours (or overnight) until softened.
  2. Blend the Batter:
    • Blend the soaked lentils (including the soaking water) until smooth. Add salt, garlic powder, and any optional seasonings. The consistency should be like pancake batter.
  3. Cook the Flatbreads:
    • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a bit of oil or cooking spray.
    • Pour ¼ cup of batter into the skillet, spreading it into a thin, round shape.
    • Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and the edges lift slightly, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
    • Repeat with the remaining batter.
  4. Serve & Enjoy:
    • Garnish with fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with hummus, avocado, or as a wrap.
