DARK CHOCOLATE BARK
W/ ROASTED LENTILS AND SEA SALT INSTRUCTIONS
LENTILS contain Fiber, Folate, Magnesium, B6, and Protein, and, because of their coin-like appearance, are eaten at the start of a New Year for good fortune!
To make the Lentils: Bring 1 CUP WATER to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in 1/2 CUP GREEN LENTILS. Simmer until tender, about 20 minutes, then drain and rinse. Toss with 1 TEASPOON SUNFLOWER OIL and 1/4 TEASPOON SEA SALT. Spread evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast at 325F for about 30 minutes, or until the lentils are dry and crunchy. Save for later.
For the Bark: Melt 8 OUNCES CHOPPED DARK CHOCOLATE and 4 OUNCES CHOPPED UNSWEETENED CHOCOLATE in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, or in a double boiler. Stir the chocolate as it melts and take off of heat when chocolate is 3/4 of the way melted. Immediately stir in 1/4 CUP COCONUT CRYSTALS. Coconut crystals are low-glycemic! Spread mixture evenly onto parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the ROASTED LENTILS onto chocolate, adding SEA SALT TO TASTE. Put the sheet in the freezer for a few minutes to speed the hardening process, then remove and let harden the rest of the way. Once the chocolate is completely hardened, break it into pieces. DIG IN!

POPCORN W/ SESAME, SEAWEED, AND SEA SALT
iNSTRUCTIONS To make the Topping: First, carefully toast 2-4 TABLESPOONS BLACK SESAME SEEDS over medium-low heat for about five minutes. Be careful not to burn them! Then cut 1-2 SHEETS TOASTED SEAWEED, like the kind you use for wrapping sushi, into small, confetti-like pieces. Mix sesame seeds and seaweed pieces in a small bowl with 3 TABLESPOONS SUNFLOWER OIL. For the Popcorn: Heat 2 TABLESPOONS HIGH-HEAT OIL (like sunflower, peanut, or vegetable oil) over medium-low heat in a large pot on the stove. Drop a few kernels into the oil and prop lid on the pot. When the kernels pop, add in 1/2 CUP POPCORN KERNELS. You can use yellow or white corn. Prop the lid back on the pot and wait until the popping slows to 2-3 seconds between pops. Take the popcorn off the heat and pour half of it into a large bowl. Toss with half the mixture from above, adding SEA SALT TO TASTE. Repeat with second half of the popcorn and the mixture. YUM! Note: You can make the topping ahead of time to save for when you want to use it on the popcorn.
