Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced sweet potato with olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.

2

Rinse the lentils and cook them in a pot with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes until tender. Drain any excess water.

3

In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, water, and a pinch of salt to make the dressing. Adjust consistency with more water if needed.

4

Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked lentils between two bowls. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, cherry tomatoes, red onion, avocado slices, and baby spinach.

5

Drizzle the tahini dressing over the bowls and serve immediately.

6

Optional: Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for extra flavor.
