A hearty and nutritious bowl featuring roasted sweet potatoes and cauliflower, protein-rich lentils, and a flavorful tahini dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup green or brown lentils, rinsed
  • 3 cups vegetable broth or water
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons water (for dressing)
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potato and cauliflower florets with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
  4. While the vegetables are roasting, combine the rinsed lentils and vegetable broth (or water) in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender. Drain any excess liquid.
  5. Prepare the tahini dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, minced garlic, and 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. Add more water if needed to reach desired consistency.
  6. To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked lentils among serving bowls. Top with the roasted sweet potato and cauliflower.
  7. Drizzle generously with the tahini dressing. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired.

Notes

  • You can add other roasted vegetables like broccoli, carrots, or Brussels sprouts.
  • For extra protein, add some cooked chickpeas or a fried egg.
  • Store leftover components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
  • The tahini dressing can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
