High-Protein Lentil Crackers Recipe

High-Protein Crunchy Lentil Crackers – A Better-For-You Alternative to Chips

At Lentil Telepathy, we believe snacking should feel indulgent without compromise. That’s why we created our Crunchy Toasted Cheddah Lentil Snacks—plant-based lentils air roasted to a golden crisp and bursting with savory flavor. And when those perfectly seasoned bites meet the oven? They transform into something even more irresistible: homemade High-Protein Crunchy Lentil Crackers.

Crisp, flavorful, and nourishing, these crackers aren’t your standard store-bought chips or crackers. Instead, they deliver what today’s thoughtful home cooks and health-conscious snackers are seeking: a better-for-you crunchy snack that satisfies both flavor and wellness goals.

Why These Crackers Stand Out

Powered by us, here at Lentil Telepathy

Every batch begins with our Crunchy Toasted Cheddah Lentil Snacks, which naturally elevate a simple cracker into a high-performance snack. With 7 grams of plant protein in every ⅓ cup, these lentils provide steady energy while delivering the spot-on Cheddah flavor that made us (locally) famous. In just one batch (12 crackers), you get a powerful 32 grams of protein and 43 grams of fiber—making each cracker a mini nutrient powerhouse.

A Better-For-You Chip Alternative – No Oil, No Greasy Fingertips!

If you’re used to reaching for chips or processed crackers, this recipe will change the way you snack. These lentil crackers are crisp, crunchy, and savory—but made entirely from wholesome, nutrient-dense ingredients like seeds, lentils, and warming spices. Each bite satisfies cravings while keeping you fuller, longer.

Flavor That Does the Talking

Every cracker delivers the natural nuttiness of lentils, layered with garlic, onion, smoked paprika, and just a hint of Worcestershire complexity. Boldly savory and endlessly snackable, these crackers pair beautifully with hummus, cheese boards, or dips—or stand proudly on their own.

Nourishment With Integrity

This recipe works with real, recognizable ingredients: plant proteins, high-fiber seeds, mineral-rich spices. It’s snack-time elevated—created for mindful eaters who care about what goes on (and into) their table.

Why Choose Lentils – and Why Us

We celebrate the lentil for all it offers:

• Sustainability at its core – Lentils require dramatically less water than most crops and naturally enrich the soil they grow in.
• Whole-body nutrition – Protein, fiber, and key micronutrients combine to create unparalleled nourishment in a tiny legume.
• Snack innovation with purpose – Our mission is to make truly satisfying snacks that help nourish and uplift people. Our snack donation commitment helps local underserved communities across San Diego access healthier snacks.
