📝 Preparation Steps

Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, soy sauce, mustard powder, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir in 2 cups water and bring to a simmer. Add the cooked lentils and simmer, stirring often, until the mixture thickens, deepens in color, and the lentils are fully tender, about ⏱️ 15 minutes. Stir in the cider vinegar. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, place the buns cut-side down in the pan and toast until golden brown, 1 to ⏱️ 2 minutes. Spoon the lentil mixture onto the buns and serve with chips.
