Method
- Melt 1 tbsp of coconut oil on a low heat with the cumin, turmeric and cinnamon. Once melted, take it off the heat and place to the side.
- Cut up the sweet potato into wedges. Rub them in the oil spice mix with a big pinch of salt. Place on a roasting tray and roast for 40-45 mins until cooked through and crispy.
- Whilst that's cooking, heat another tbsp of coconut oil with the ginger and garlic in a pan for 1 minute. Add in the lentils and stir well with a pinch of salt. Add a few tbsp of filtered water and let this cook for 15 minutes. Keep checking and adding filtered water so that it doesn't burn on the bottom.
- Just before the potatoes are ready, place the spinach in a big pot with a little water and steam for a few minutes.
- Serve with fresh lime juice and olive oil.
