We love this Lentil Sweet Potato Casserole, adapted from Vegetarian Times. The colorful combination of vegetables and lentils is the perfect meal when we want to feel healthy again after we’ve indulged in richer foods during the holidays or a vacation.

This dish a great combination of spicy and sweet. Green beans, red peppers, and sweet potato go so well with the savory seasonings, and raisins give it a bit of extra sweetness.

This lentil sweet potato casserole is an easy make-ahead recipe for a busy night. You can prepare the ingredients during the weekend, and then all you need to do is put it in the oven when you’re ready to serve it.

For best results, bake the mixture in a covered casserole dish until all the vegetables are tender. The lentils should be cooked ahead of time, and they absorb the delicious spice flavors while baking.
