I was pretty skeptical before trying these, but they are AWESOME! I can't wait to experiment a bit more with the spice flavours on them. These really satisfy my craving for something snackable. Even my husband was surprised by how much he liked them. Thank you for posting this great recipe!

Of course, I'd rather eat a twinkie, but as far as healthy snacks go, these are pretty good. Excellent directions! I took the advice of another reviewer and used one tablespoon of olive oil and seasoned with kosher salt, garlic powder and a pinch of cayenne. I like the salty crunch and knowing that it's full of good nutrients. Thanks so much for sharing!

Great! I never would have thought of this. Thank you very much. I was short on time so I had to leave the lentils to drain on the paper towels all day because I had to go to work. They don't need all that oil. Just spray them with a light coating of your favorite 'spray-type' oil. That is enough! I added some chili powder to mine, too. Delicious.

These are so fun! Little delectable healthy crunchy snacks- great! I'm not a big chip or cracker eater, but I do sometimes crave some "munchies" (if you will ) and these hit the spot! Mine took much longer to cook than prescribed (like 35-45 minutes), but turned out great. I halved the recipe, and used half the oil called for as suggested by stimied, but they are still rather oily- next time I would use even less. I also used olive oil, like stimied. These are great snack food! I imagine they would be well-recieved even by non-healthy-minded people, so long as you don't tell them what they are! I'm looking forward to trying different spice combos- as it is its a good mimic of common flavors found on packaged snack foods. Thanks for posting! I will make again!
