Ingredients

2 cups red lentils
canola oil
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

Directions

Pat the lentils dry with paper towels. In a large cast-iron skillet, heat ¼ inch of oil until shimmering. Fry the lentils in batches, stirring, until yellow and crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate to drain. In a small bowl, toss the fried lentils with the paprika, season with salt and pepper and serve.
