Curried lentils cooked with sweet potatoes, fire-roasted tomatoes chickpeas, this vegan and gluten-free dish is high in protein and big on flavor.

This is one of these dishes that can please gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan people. And a meat eater like myself thoroughly enjoys it.

This curried lentils recipe features sweet potatoes, red onions, fire roasted tomatoes, chickpeas and of course, a ton of seasonings to flavor it up. Sounds good, right?

Sounds good, right?

What’s even better is that I used coconut oil and organic chicken bone broth to cook the lentils with all other ingredients. Super uber healthy and tasty stuff. Of course, you may substitute vegetable broth for the chicken bone broth if you are vegan.

Ever since some of you pointed out that I shouldn’t use canola oil anymore because it’s highly processed and you sent me all those emails to tell me the reasons, I have been good and avoiding it as much as possible. For that, I thank you!
