Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Cook the Lentils: In a medium saucepan, combine lentils and vegetable broth or water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until lentils are tender. Drain any excess liquid.
- Roast the Carrots: On a baking sheet, toss the carrot sticks with olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread them out in a single layer and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
- Make the Tahini Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Gradually add water to reach your desired consistency.
- Assemble the Bowl: In a bowl, combine cooked lentils, roasted carrots, and fresh herbs. Drizzle with tahini dressing and toss gently to combine. Serve warm or at room temperature.
