Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 2–3 cloves of garlic, minced
- ½ tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, minced
- 1 cup (190g) dry brown lentils

- 6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 2 ounces (57 g) baby spinach
- Salt and Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: Warm the oil in a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, rosemary, thyme, and black pepper to taste, then sauté for an additional 1 to 2 minutes
- Simmer: Add the lentils, sweet potatoes, and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir and bring to a boil over high heat, then cover and let simmer on medium-low heat for 20 to 30 minutes, until the lentils are fully cooked. Turn off the heat, then stir in the spinach until wilted.
- Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve warm. Leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days or can be frozen for up to one month.
Notes
- Oil-Free: Omit the oil from step 1 and sauté the aromatics in 2 to 3 tablespoons of water or additional vegetable broth instead
