    Eating healthy is somehow easier in summer – fresh fruits and veggies are smiling at you from every supermarket, the variety is much bigger than in winter. When it’s warm outside, you don’t want to eat anything really unhealthy anyway that weighs heavily on your stomach. In winter, everything looks different. Loads of sweets and greasy food is served all the time because you have to be ready for the cold season ;) How about a tasty dish that lies right between “healthy” and “feel good”? these delicious Oven Veggies with Lentils, Pesto & Eggs, for example? How about that?

    Oven veggies have become a standard dish for us some time ago – no matter if it is summer or winter. That dish works at any time of the year. It‘s an ideal dinner if you are lazy or don’t have much time in the evening but still want something delicious homemade and healthy. The veggies are prepared in no time – which can happen several days in advance. Once they are in the oven the don’t need much attention until they are roasted to perfection and ready to end up on your plate. The magic of oven veggies ;)

    These oven veggies here are accompanied by a lukewarm lentil salad, pesto, and fried eggs. It‘s a great combination. The salad and pesto can also be made some time in advance – so if you want a hassle-free evening, you just have to prepare everything a day or two in advance and heat it up the night you need it. Or for lunch. We normally make a big batch of veggies and prepare several meals with it – always slight altered with different add-ons ;) You invest a bit more time on a Sunday afternoon and don’t have to cook for at least 2-3 days more. If you are still working from home that might not be the killer argument here, since you got much more time at hand, but those times will pass. One day ;P

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Start with the pesto by washing and drying the parsley and chives first. Chop coarsely and add to a small bowl. Add the pine nuts and grated cheese. Wash the lime with hot water, dry and zest. Add the zest of the whole lime and the juice of half the lime to the bowl – cut the second half of the lime in two and set aside until you serve the dish. Add the olive oil to the bowl and puree everything with an immersion blender until you get a nice green paste. If it is too thick, add some more oil or water. Season with sea salt and pepper. Set aside until the rest is ready.

    2. Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside. Peel the carrot, parsnip, and red beet (you might want to use gloves with the beet). Cut into thick sticks like French fries. Add the carrot and parsnip sticks to a bowl and mix with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Mix the spices in a separate small bowl – granulated garlic, onions, paprika powder, chili flakes, sea salt, and pepper. Sprinkle about half of it over the veggie sticks in the bowl and mix. Spread evenly in the prepared baking sheet. Use the same bowl and add the red beet sticks, some more oil, and the remaining spices and mix. Place next to the other veggies on the baking sheet. You could do all at once in one bowl but then the red beet would color everything purple ;) Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes or until the veggies are done and got some color.

    3. While the veggies are roasting cook the lentils. Wash the lentils first, then add to a pot with a good amount of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let simmer for about 25 minutes until the lentils are done. Pour into a sieve and let drain.

    4. While the lentils are cooking and the veggies are roasting prepare the rest of the ingredients. Peel and dice the small carrot, dice the stalk celery as well. Peel the garlic and dice finely. Wash the spinach and let drain.

    5. As soon as the lentils are cooked, heat up a frying pan with some oil. Add the diced carrot and celery and let cook for 1-2 minutes until glossy and softer. Add the garlic and let cook as well for some time. Add the spinach and mix until the spinach has lost most of its volume. Add the cooked lentils, mix and season with sea salt and pepper.

    6. Place the lentils together with the oven veggies on two plates. Clean the frying pan with a paper towel, add some more oil and heat up again. Fry the eggs. Add the fried eggs on top of the veggies, season with some salt and pepper and serve with the pesto. Use the juice of the remaining lime to season the dish to your liking.

    1. Mit dem Pesto anfangen und dazu erst die Petersilie und den Schnittlauch waschen und abtropfen lassen. Beides grob hacken und in ein kleines Gefäß geben. Pinienkerne, geriebenen Parmesan dazugeben. Die Limette heiß abwaschen, die Schale abreiben und mit in das Gefäß geben. Die Limette halbieren und den Saft einer Hälfte mit ins Gefäß geben – die zweite Limettenhälfte halbieren und für später zur Seite legen. Jetzt noch das Olivenöl dazugeben und alles mit einem Pürierstab zu einer geschmeidigen Masse pürieren. Sollte die Mischung zu dickflüssig sein, etwas mehr Öl oder Wasser dazugeben. Mit Meersalzflocken und Pfeffer abschmecken. Bis zum Servieren zur Seite stellen.

    2. Den Ofen auf 200°C (390°F) vorheizen. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. Die Karotte, Pastinake und Rote Bete schälen (bei der Bete am besten Gummihandschuhe verwenden) und dann in Stifte schneiden – in etwas die Größe von Pommes. Karotten- und Pastinakensticks in eine Schüssel geben, etwa 1 EL des Olivenöls dazugeben. Die Gewürze – granulierten Knoblauch, Zwiebeln, Paprikapulver, Chiliflocken, Meersalzflocken und Pfeffer in einem kleinen Schüsselchen vermischen und dann etwa die Hälfte davon zu den Gemüsesticks in der Schüssel dazugeben und alles gut vermischen. Die gewürzten Gemüsesticks auf dem Backblech verteilen. In der gleichen Schüssel die Rote Bete Sticks mit 1/2 EL Öl und den restlichen Gewürzen vermengen und dann neben den anderen Gemüsesticks auf das Blech geben. Ihr könnt auch alles auf einmal in einer Schüssel machen, aber dann färbt die Rote Bete alles Lila ;) Das Gemüse in den vorgeheizten Ofen schieben und für 25-30 Minuten rösten – das Gemüse sollte Farbe bekommen haben und gar sein.

    3. Während das Gemüse röstet die Linsen kochen. Dafür die Linsen waschen und dann in reichlich Wasser bei starker Hitzezufuhr kurz aufkochen und dann für etwa 25 Minuten bei mittlerer Hitze köcheln lassen. Die gar gekochten Linsen in ein Sieb schütten und abtropfen lassen.

    4. Während Linsen kochen und das Gemüse röstet die weiteren Zutaten für die Linsen zubereiten und dafür die kleine Karotte schälen und fein würfeln. Stangensellerie ebenfalls fein würfeln. Knoblauch schälen und fein würfeln. Spinat waschen und abtropfen lassen.

    5. Sobald die Linsen gekocht sind eine Pfanne mit etwas Öl erhitzen, die gewürfelte Karotte und Stangensellerie dazugeben und anschwitzen lassen. Nach 1-2 Minuten den Knoblauch dazugeben und mit anschwitzen. Den abgetropften Babyspinat mit in die Pfanne geben, alles verrühren, bis der Spinat zusammenfällt. Die Linsen dazugeben und dann mit Meersalzflocken und Pfeffer würzen.

    6. Die warmen Linsen zusammen mit dem Ofengemüse auf Tellern anrichten. Die Pfanne kurz mit einem Papiertuch auswischen, dann etwas Olivenöl hineingeben und erhitzen. Zwei Spiegeleier anbraten. Die gebratenen Eier auf das Gemüse geben, mit Salz und Pfeffer nach Belieben würzen und mit dem Pesto servieren. Mit dem Saft der verbliebenen Limettenschnitze abschmecken.
