Description
This curried lentil sweet potato bowl is packed with nourishing vegetables, spiced lentils, and cauliflower rice for a healthy dinner.
Ingredients
- Curried Lentils: 2 cups cooked golden lentils, 1 cup light coconut milk, 1 tablespoon curry powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- Roasted Sweet Potatoes: 1 large sweet potato, cut into wedges, 2 tablespoons avocado oil, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- Cauliflower Rice: 1 medium head cauliflower, grated into rice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 pinch sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
- Greens: 1 bunch kale, chopped
- Optional Toppings: 1/2 cup thinly sliced red cabbage, 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, lime wedges, cilantro chutney
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss the sweet potato wedges with avocado oil and sea salt. Spread them on the baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast the sweet potatoes for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and lightly browned.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cooked lentils, coconut milk, curry powder, turmeric, garlic powder, and sea salt. Simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until warm and creamy.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice, sea salt, and curry powder.
- Cook the cauliflower rice for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender but not mushy.
- Bring 1 inch of water to a simmer in a pot fitted with a steamer basket. Add the chopped kale, cover, and steam for 2 to 3 minutes until bright green and wilted.
- Divide the cauliflower rice among serving bowls.
- Top each bowl with roasted sweet potatoes, curried lentils, and steamed kale.
- Garnish with sliced red cabbage, cilantro, lime wedges, and cilantro chutney if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- Roasting the sweet potatoes until lightly caramelized adds extra sweetness that balances the warm curry spices perfectly.
