Description

This veggie bake is comforting, warming and filling, so easy to make and full of flavour.

Method

Step 1 of 3

Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Toss the sweet potato cubes in a little oil, brush the eggplant strips with oil and lay out in a single layer on a large baking tray. Roast for 15-20 minutes until tender.

Step 2 of 3

Heat the rest of the oil in a pan and cook the onions for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sweet potato and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the pesto and lentils and add chopped tomatoes. Simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 3 of 3

Add a layer of the lentil mix to a baking dish, top with eggplant slices and repeat, finishing with a layer of eggplant on top. Dot mozzarella on top and bake for 15 minutes until golden and bubbling.
