A Vegetarian's Dream Sweet Potato Dinner image

Featuring sweet potatoes and mushrooms roasted to crispy-edged perfection, plus a whipped feta-tahini sauce with lots of dill, this easy, comforting vegetarian dinner is perfect for fall. Use whatever kind of lentil you like best for the salad-we prefer black beluga lentils because of how well they hold their caviar-like shape.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 small sweet potatoes (garnet yams), halved lengthwise
7 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for drizzling
1 tsp. kosher salt, divided, plus more
1 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, divided
1/2 cup black or green lentils
1/2 lb. maitake mushrooms, trimmed, torn into pieces
6 oz. feta, crumbled (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup tahini
1 small garlic clove, crushed
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, divided
1 bunch dill, coarsely chopped (about 1 1/2 cups), divided
2 scallions, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss potatoes, 1 Tbsp. oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Arrange potatoes cut side down in an even layer and roast until beginning to soften and golden brown on the cut sides, 15-20 minutes.
  • While potatoes roast, cook lentils in a medium pot of simmering salted water until lentils are tender but still retain their shape, 15-20 minutes. Drain and transfer to a medium bowl.
  • Toss mushrooms, 1 Tbsp. oil, and 1/2 tsp. pepper in another medium bowl. Arrange around potatoes on hot baking sheet and continue to roast until mushrooms are browned and crisped and potatoes are well browned on cut sides, 12-15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, pulse feta, tahini, garlic, 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, half of the dill, 3 Tbsp. oil, and 1/4 cup water in a food processor until a smooth sauce forms. Add more water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, and pulse to combine until sauce is just thin enough to pour.
  • Add scallions and remaining dill, 2 Tbsp. oil, 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper to bowl with lentils and stir to combine. Stir in roasted mushrooms.
  • Divide feta sauce among plates. Top with potato halves. Spoon lentil salad over and drizzle with oil.

This dish was delicious! The sweet potatoes were perfectly roasted and the quinoa was cooked perfectly. The roasted vegetables were a great addition and the dressing was delicious. I will definitely be making this again!

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. The sweet potatoes were not very flavorful and the quinoa was a bit dry. The roasted vegetables were also a bit undercooked. I think I will try a different recipe next time.
