  • 1 tsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup dry French lentils

  • 1/4 cup salted, roasted almonds (optional)
  • 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 tbsp fresh mint

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss sliced carrots and shallots in olive oil, maple syrup (or honey), smoked paprika, cumin, cinnamon, and kosher salt. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for about 30 minutes until golden brown.
