Roasted Fall Vegetables with Lentils

Roasted Fall Vegetables with Lentils

You can swap any fall veggie -- brussels sprouts, turnips, or cabbage -- into this warm salad. Just make sure you cut everything to about the same size for even roasting. Don't skip the celery leaves: they may seem delicate, but they pack a lot of flavor.

  • Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

    • 1/2 pound carrots, halved lengthwise
    • 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch wedges
    • 1 small acorn squash, halved, seeds removed, cut into 1/2-inch slices
    • 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
    • 1/2 cup dried French green lentils, rinsed
    • 1 shallot, halved
    • 4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    • 1 stalk celery, thinly sliced, plus leaves

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 425 degrees. On two baking sheets, arrange carrots, onion, and squash; drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast, turning once, until caramelized and tender, about 30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, place lentils and shallot in a medium saucepan and cover with water by two inches. Bring to a boil, then simmer, covered, until lentils are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain; discard shallot. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Combine vinegar and mustard. Pour remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a slow steady stream, whisking constantly. Toss lentils and celery with vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper. Spoon over roasted vegetables. Garnish with celery leaves.
