Sweet Potato Lentil Moussaka

A plant-based twist on classic moussaka with sweet potatoes, lentils, and a creamy béchamel. This dish is packed with iron, fibre, and plant protein. I first made it as a way to use up some lentils and it became a fast favourite with the family.

What a labor of love, this took a bit to make. I try aubergine every few years and I still don't like it. Everything else in this dish was so tasty!

Took me a lil longer than said but the instructions are so clear it really helps.Ive never made a white sauce with olive oil but it tasted delicious and think this will be a hit with other veggies or salad. Thank you Gigi

Delicious! It was the first time I've made a bechamel with olive oil so I was dubious, but it was absolutely amazing. 5* recipe, and we made 6 portions that we are excited to have over the Christmas break (which actually works out as 6 portions unlike a lot of recipes 😍)

Major modifications. Since I did a big batch for freezing, I cooked in two glass pans that were approximately 13x9. I also did not make the topper because I’m freezing. Even without the top it is delicious! Other modifications: I ran out of brown lentils so I used split green mung beans (moong). I also added about 1/4 cup of chickpea flour because I wanted to. 😆 Definitely recommend.

The soy milk bechamel worked really well! I couldnt find sweet potatoes, so replaced them with pumpkin. Next time ill just use regular potatoes to try 😊
