Let's Cook

Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a medium bowl, toss the peeled and quartered beets with 1 tablespoon avocado oil, minced garlic, and ¼ teaspoon sea salt. Wrap the beets in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet. Roast for 30 to 45 minutes, until tender when pierced with a toothpick or fork. Remove from the oven and drizzle with 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired.

Step 2.
While the beets roast, prepare the lentils. In a medium pot over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon avocado oil. Add the diced yellow onion and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic, cumin, paprika, chili powder, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the cooked lentils and ¼ cup water, stir, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
