Green Lentil & sweet potato Dal

This recipe is a hearty lentil and sweet potato stew that can be served as a main dish or as a side dish. Super high in plant protein, very low glycemic carbs…this is a nutrition powerhouse of a dish.
I serve it with roasted zoodles… ’cause seriously why not?!
I love having this as my carb on non workout days. It is so low glycemic, it’s practically a low carb dish, yet sooo satisfying!
