Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup green or brown lentils, rinsed
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

  6. Once lentils are cooked, season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a baking dish.
  7. Spread the mashed sweet potatoes over the lentil mixture.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the top is slightly golden.
