Try these nutrient-packed sweet potato & lentil rolls with a crispy olive oil crust. Perfect for vegans and rich in fiber and protein!
Ingredients
- • sweet potatoes, peeled and diced: 2 cups
- • cooked green lentils: 1 cup
- • whole wheat flour: 2 1/2 cups
- • water: 1 cup
- • active dry yeast: 2 teaspoons
- • olive oil: 1/4 cup
- • ground cumin: 1 teaspoon
- • smoked paprika: 1/2 teaspoon
- • sea salt: 1 teaspoon
- • black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • garlic powder: 1/2 teaspoon
- • fresh parsley, chopped: 1/4 cup
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 2 Boil the diced sweet potatoes until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and mash them until smooth. Set aside.
- 3 In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- 4 Add the mashed sweet potatoes, cooked lentils, olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the yeast mixture. Mix well.
- 5 Gradually incorporate the whole wheat flour into the mixture, stirring continuously until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 6 Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm area for about 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
- 7 Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a roll and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- 8 Brush the rolls with a little olive oil and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crusty.
Serving Suggestions
- • These hearty rolls pair beautifully with a bowl of spicy lentil soup or a fresh green salad. For a more indulgent experience, serve them with a side of homemade hummus or a garlic-infused olive oil dip. A chilled glass of sparkling water with a splash of lemon complements the earthy flavors of the rolls perfectly. For a breakfast twist, enjoy these rolls warm with a spread of avocado and a sprinkle of chili flakes. Their robust flavor and satisfying texture make them an excellent start to your day.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. To enjoy them later, simply thaw at room temperature and reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to regain their crispiness.
