Spiced Roasted Lentils

👨‍🍳 Method

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).

   ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven

   💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
2. 2
   Dry the vegetables well.

   💡Dry vegetables brown: drops of water on the vegetable evaporate in the oven and steam it instead of roasting it.
3. 3
   In a bowl, toss the vegetables with the olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, turmeric, salt and black pepper.
