1. Soak lentils:
Pour boiling water over the red lentils and let them soak for 10–15 minutes.

2. Blend:
Transfer the soaked lentils along with the soaking water and a pinch of salt into a blender. Blend on high speed until completely smooth.

3. Thicken:
Pour the lentil mixture into a saucepan and heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens significantly.

4. Chill:
Transfer the thickened mixture into a container and refrigerate until completely cooled and firm.

5. Slice and season:
Cut the chilled block into thin chip slices. Evenly sprinkle with nutritional yeast, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt.

6. Bake:
Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (350 °F) for 20–30 minutes. Flip halfway through until the chips are golden brown and extra crunchy.
