Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Slice squash in half and scoop out seeds. Cut into thin slices, leaving skin on.
  • Cut cauliflower, onions, and carrots into large chunky pieces of equal size to cook evenly.
  • Place vegetables into large bowl and toss with avocado oil. Sprinkle dried spices, pinch of salt and pepper, maple syrup, and crushed garlic. Stir well to combine and arrange vegetables in single layer on baking sheets. Place trays into oven and cook for 25 to 30 minutes, until vegetables have softened and edges are slightly browned.
  • While vegetables cook, place mung dahl in saucepan with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil and add pinch of salt and pepper. Cover saucepan with lid and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer gently for 15 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes, remove lid and stir lentils. Add garlic, fresh ginger, maple syrup, canned coconut milk, and spices. Stir well to combine and keep simmering, uncovered, until mixture thickens and dahl is soft.
  • To assemble, divide roasted vegetables between four bowls. Place creamy dahl next to vegetables and garnish with fresh coriander and cultured/fermented vegetables. Serve immediately.
