Crispy Chili-Lime Lentil Protein Boost
Lentils pan-seared until golden and crisp, tossed in a zesty chili-lime seasoning and nutritional yeast for a savory, satisfying crunch.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked brown lentils
3 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp avocado oil
0.5 tsp chili powder
1 tbsp lime juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.13 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Place the cooked lentils on a paper towel and pat them thoroughly dry to ensure they get maximum crispiness in the pan.
Heat the avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the lentils to the skillet in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes until the bottoms begin to brown.
Stir the lentils and continue cooking for another 3 minutes, tossing occasionally, until they sound hollow and feel crunchy.
Reduce the heat to low, then sprinkle in the nutritional yeast, chili powder, sea salt, and black pepper, stirring constantly for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the fresh lime juice before serving immediately.
