Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Dice the potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
- Step 2: Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and toss with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes.
- Step 3: After 15 minutes, add the cooked lentils and the cauliflower and/or broccoli to the baking sheet with the potatoes. Drizzle with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper, and curry powder. Toss everything together until the seasoning is throughout and then spread into a single layer. Roast for another 10 minutes.
- Step 4: After 10 minutes, sprinkle the pine nuts over the vegetables and continue to roast for another 4 to 5 minutes.
- Step 5: Meanwhile, stir together the vinaigrette. Set aside.
- Step 6: Finely chop the kale leaves and place them in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with a splash of the vinaigrette and use your hand to massage the vinaigrette into the greens until they soften. Note: If using the arugula option, there is no need to massage the greens.
- Serve: Toss the greens with the roasted vegetables. Drizzle with more vinaigrette, to taste. Enjoy with any extra vinaigrette on the side.
