Ingredients
Scale
1 cup lentils
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bell pepper, diced
2 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional)
1 zucchini, diced (optional)
Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Fresh parsley or cilantro (for garnish)
Sliced avocado (for garnish)
Crumbled feta cheese (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and bell pepper, sautéing until the vegetables are tender (about 5-7 minutes).
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the lentils, vegetable broth, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 20-25 minutes, until tender.
While lentils are cooking, prepare the nut crumble topping by mixing nuts with a pinch of salt and any additional spices in a bowl.
Once lentils are cooked, transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish, spreading evenly.
Sprinkle the nut crumble topping over the lentils, ensuring even coverage.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until topping is golden and crispy.
Remove from oven, cool slightly before serving, and garnish as desired.
