Instructions

Step 1

Start by warming some olive oil in a pot over medium-low heat. Toss in the chopped onion and let it cook gently until it turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Next, add the sweet potatoes, carrots, garlic, garam masala, seasoned salt, cayenne pepper, and a bit of regular salt and pepper. Stir everything together and let it cook for another 5 minutes so the spices get to know the veggies.

Step 2

Pour in the broth and water, then bring the mixture up to a boil. Let it bubble away for about 10 minutes to help the flavors meld. After that, stir in the spinach and lentils, then bring it back to a boil. Turn the heat down to low and let it simmer gently until the lentils are tender, which should take around 15 to 20 minutes. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if you need to before serving.
