Preparation
0/5 steps complete
Prepare the base: roasted sweet potato. Warm lentils until glossy and seasoned, then let them settle before packing.
Cook or prep glazed carrots separately so the side keeps its texture.
Spoon salsa verde onto lentils at the end, using just enough to season the main bite without soaking the grains or vegetables.
Arrange the main, the side, and the fresh or crunchy pieces in separate groups so every bite keeps its texture.
Pack and serve: pack lentils, roasted sweet potato, glazed carrots and olives together in their own groups. Keep salsa verde and sesame seeds separate with the divider. To serve warm, remove salsa verde and sesame, warm the base, then spoon over salsa verde and sprinkle sesame. To serve cold, pack chilled and add salsa verde and sesame just before eating.
