Lentils are packed full of crucial nutrients. They’re rich in protein and fiber and are especially healthy for those on a plant-based diet. But a lot of people claim they don’t like lentils because they can be bland and tasteless if they’re not cooked well. Fortunately, there are some really simple ways that you can make your lentils more delicious, to the point where you’ll look forward to having them again and again. Here are some of the tastiest lentil dishes you can make at home.
Lentils and Roasted Eggplant
Mix your lentils with salt, pepper, some finely chopped chili, and roasted eggplant. For best results, chop your eggplant into inch-long cubes and season with salt, pepper, and olive oil before roasting for 15 minutes.
Lentil Salad
Boil your lentils and toss them into a mixing bowl with lettuce, olives, feta, tomato, red onion, honey, and balsamic vinegar. Enjoy!
Lentil Burger
Buy some compact lentil burgers and put them over the grill. These can be a great substitute for beef burgers or other plant-based options.
Lentil Curry
Fry your lentils with onion, garlic, chopped tomatoes, and coconut milk. Serve with roasted broccoli, cauliflower, and coriander.
