Vegetarian Casserole Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
Prepare the sweet potato puree
Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into cubes. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth. Set aside.
Cook the lentils
In a pot, combine the green lentils and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered for about 20 minutes or until lentils are tender. Drain any excess liquid.
Roast the vegetables
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss the zucchini, bell pepper, carrots, red onion, and garlic with olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme, and oregano. Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, until caramelized and tender.
Assemble the casserole
In a baking dish, spread the lentils as the base layer. Layer the sweet potato puree on top of the lentils. Finally, add the roasted vegetables on top of the sweet potato puree.
Garnish and serve
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
