  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp basil
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine lentils and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until lentils are tender.

  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the lentil mixture into a thin, even layer, about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the crust is firm and slightly golden around the edges.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before adding your favorite toppings.
  8. Bake with toppings for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the toppings are heated through and the edges of the crust are golden-brown.
  9. Slice and serve immediately.
