Begin by rinsing the red lentils under cold water. Soak in a bowl covered with water for 2-3 hours. Drain and rinse again.

In a blender, combine soaked lentils, water, chia seeds, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.

Pour the batter into a bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and grease lightly with olive oil.

Pour a portion of batter into the skillet, spreading it into a thin circle. Cook for 2-3 minutes until edges lift.

Flip the flatbread carefully and cook the other side for another 2 minutes until golden brown.

Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary. Keep cooked flatbreads warm under a towel.

Serve warm with toppings like avocado, hummus, or roasted vegetables.
