INGREDIENTS
1.75 cups cooked red lentils (~350g)
1/3 cup light coconut milk (~80g)
1 medium carrot
1/2 medium parsnip
1 cup raw spinach
1/4 medium onion
2 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon spice mix (cumin, turmeric, paprika)
1/2 cup water
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the chopped carrot and halved parsnip with 1 teaspoon olive oil and a pinch of the spice mix. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and beginning to caramelize.
While the vegetables roast, heat the remaining olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the quartered onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant.
Add the cooked red lentils to the saucepan along with the light coconut milk, 1/2 cup water, and the remaining spices. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 8-10 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in the raw spinach at the end so it wilts gently into the mixture.
Plate the creamy spiced lentils and top with the roasted root vegetables. Serve warm and enjoy the comforting blend of flavors.
