SWEET POTATO – LENTIL BOWL WITH ROCKET

Updated: Aug 11, 2022

I can easily say that sweet potato is one of my favourite vegetables and definitely on my

menu every week. With its creamy texture and sweet-spicy flavour makes it ideal for

savoury dishes that will put a smile on your face and leave you satisfied and happy.


This recipe is quick and easy to prepare as lunch or dinner, but it may take longer for your

sweet potato to bake (50-60 min.) You only need few ingredients, baking tray, cooing pot

and your favourite bowl to enjoy it.
