Smoked lentils are a flavorful twist on the beloved legume, combining earthy richness with a subtle hint of smoky aroma. Often rooted in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, this dish elevates lentils through techniques like smoking paprika or wood chips during cooking to enhance their depth. Packed with plant-based protein, fiber, and essential minerals like iron and folate, lentils are a nutritional powerhouse that supports digestion, heart health, and sustained energy. Smoked lentils typically feature ingredients such as onions, garlic, herbs, and spices, making them both aromatic and satisfying. While they are naturally low in fat and cholesterol-free, preparation methods involving added oils, salt, or toppings should be moderated for optimal health benefits. Versatile and delicious, smoked lentils can be enjoyed as a hearty side, a filling main dish, or a protein-packed salad ingredient, appealing to both vegetarians and omnivores alike.
