What’s the best way to cook lentils

Sure! Here are six different ways to cook lentils:

**Classic Boil**: Just rinse your lentils, toss them in a pot with water (about 3 cups for every cup of lentils), bring it to a boil, then let them simmer for about 20-30 minutes until they're tender. Easy peasy!

**Pressure Cooker**: If you’re short on time, throw your rinsed lentils in a pressure cooker with 2 cups of water for about 10 minutes. You’ll have perfectly cooked lentils in no time!

**Slow Cooker**: For a hands-off approach, add rinsed lentils, some broth, and your favorite veggies to a slow cooker. Let it go on low for 6-8 hours, and you’ll have a delicious meal waiting for you.

**Sauté First**: Sauté some onions and garlic in a pot, then add your rinsed lentils and water. This adds a nice depth of flavor. Cook until tender, about 25 minutes!

**Roasted Lentils**: For a crunchy snack, toss cooked lentils with olive oil and your favorite seasonings, then roast them in the oven at 400°F for about 20-30 minutes. Super tasty!
