Description

One-pan smoky lentils with peppers, zucchini, and spinach served over quinoa for a plant-based, high-protein meal prep.

Ingredients

1 cup dry brown or green lentils, rinsed
3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 small zucchini, diced
2 cups baby spinach
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
3 cups cooked quinoa

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan or deep skillet over medium heat; add bell pepper and zucchini and sauté 3–4 minutes.
Stir in lentils, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and vegetable broth; bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 20–25 minutes until lentils are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Stir in spinach until wilted and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Divide cooked quinoa and the lentil mixture into 4 meal-prep containers.
