Lentil, Sweet Potato, and Broccoli Bowl
This make-ahead bowl is delicious and rich with protein and fiber. Just one cup [200 g] of lentils has around 18 grams of protein, and one sweet potato has about 2 grams in addition to vitamin A, and it is also a very good source of vitamin C, manganese, copper, vitamin B6, and phosphorus. A true superfood! Feel free to switch out the broccolini for other seasonal veggies. This dish can be served hot or at room temperature.

Instructions
Step 1
Add the lentils and vegetable broth to the instant pot. Pressure cook on high for 10 minutes. When it’s done, release pressure immediately.
Step 2
Arrange the oven racks evenly and preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C]. Toss and coat the sweet potatoes in olive oil and season with salt, then arrange on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, arrange the broccolini on another rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil; season with salt and pepper, and toss. Once the potatoes have roasted for 15 minutes, add the broccolini to the oven and roast both for another 15 minutes.
Step 3
For the dressing: Whisk all the ingredients together in a small bowl, or shake them in a small jar until combined.
Step 4
Assemble by spooning a portion of first the lentils, then the sweet potato and broccolini into a bowl. Season to taste with dressing and top with feta.
