Instruções
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C. On a large baking sheet, toss the cubed sweet potato, carrots, and parsnips with half the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.
- 2.While the vegetables roast, heat the remaining olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic, cumin, and coriander, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3.Add the rinsed lentils and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid.
- 4.In a small bowl, prepare the sauce by combining the Greek yogurt, chopped mint, chopped parsley, and lemon juice. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and stir well.
- 5.To serve, divide the cooked lentils between two bowls. Top with the roasted root vegetables and finish with a generous dollop of the herbed yogurt sauce.
