Recipe adapted from Isabell Shipard, author of How I Can Use Herbs in my Daily Life.

3/4 cup (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 cup lentils
2 tablespoons onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce
1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions

1
Soak 1/2 cup lentils 8 to 12 hours, drain.
2
Sprout 3-5 days.
3
Rinse 2 times daily, grow until the length of shoots equals the seed length.
4
Place sprouts in a bowl and mix in 2 tbs onion powder, 1 teaspoons garlic powder, 2 tbs tamari soy sauce and a pinch of cayenne pepper (if desired).
5
Spread out thinly on a baking tray, and bake at 250°F until brittle and crispy, which takes about 1 hour.
6
Alternatively, the snack sprouts can be dried in a food dehydrator.
7
When the sprouts have dried out, store in a container with a lid, which will keep them dry and crisp. Enjoy!

I love dried lentil snacks, but had never tried them sprouted like this. I'll have to triple the recipe next time, they where gone before I could put them into any kind of container! Hope you'll get a picture up of just the lentil sprouts. Thanks for sharing.

I cultivated my own sprouts (fun!) in my new handy-dandy sprouter, then seasoned them and put them in the dehydrator. After checking on them at regular intervals for doneness, I gave up after 12 hours. The garbanzos simply refused to completely dry and ended up having the consistency of a really dried out piece of chewing gum; slightly chewy, but hard. (Sorry, that's the only metaphor I could think of.) But the flavor was right on! I'm going to try this again, but omit the chickpeas, just sticking with the lentil sprouts. Thanks, Sharon!

SO good! I tried to make mine last as long as possible because I wanted to see how long they would last after baked. I made it about 2 weeks....On to another batch soon! THanks! ETA: You don't have to have a fancy set-up to sprout lentils. Just a wide-mouth jar with nylons or cheesecloth for the top "cover". Secure with rubberband and rinse your sprouts as needed!

Such a Fun & Yum snack I used my own mix of sprouts...a tray of this and that in my pal my de-high for the lentils I used Sharon's suggested spice mix with the exception of replacing the soy with Braggs and using less than 1/2 the amount of liquid 'cause it is potent stuff - (side note; I was inspired by Sandi to give garbanzos a try too, but did a wasabi, brown sugar mustard sauce with those - so thanks for the idea ) I did some wheat berry sprouts as well 'cause why-not... sprouting and dehydrating have become my cooking methods of preference over this past summer and I have been experimenting and playing around a lot... so I have the stuff ready to rock&roll with my whims ...Loved the lentil snack sprouts... delightful crunchy little crisps ... I will not be drying them in the oven as long as I have my new favorite toy (the dehydrator) or maybe until winter- when I need to turn the oven on to warm up some {{lol}} ; - but I am sure that would be a yum as well because all of Sharon's recipes & ideas are... - as far as the de-high dry time...hard to say 'cause like I said different tries all different things, treatments and times plus we have ALOT of problems with power going off with summer storms this time of year...it is a play it by ear thing and so far I have been pleased with the results - I would say average 6-8 hours...you can put it on and go off to work with out worries (or bed )- THANKS Sharon for yet another winning recipe...i think i may be your #1 fan
