Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork and place them on a sheet pan. Place in the oven and bake for 35-45 minutes or until soft.
Meanwhile, prepare your onion, garlic, carrot, and ginger.
In a medium saucepan, set the heat to high. Once hot, cook the vegetables for 2 minutes, adding a splash of vegetable broth to prevent sticking.
Then add in the lentils and seasoning, stir together for a minute.
Add in the vegetable broth, cover the pot and allow the mixture to come to a boil.
Once boiling, stir and reduce heat to low. Allow it to simmer for 20-25 minutes or until lentils and vegetables are soft.
Then, prepare your tahini sauce in a mixing bowl.
When your sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes. Then, peel the skin and cut the sweet potato.
Serve the lentils over a bed of chopped kale. Place the sweet potato over the lentils, drizzle with tahini sauce. Optionally, top with capers. Serve hot and enjoy!
Save the leftovers for a cold salad lunch the next day.
