Make

Heat oven to 400F / 204C. Set out two sheet pans.
Take herb-garlic butter out of the fridge and put it near the warm oven so it softens to room temperature.
Rub halved sweet potatoes on all sides with some cooking oil. Place potatoes cut-side down on the first sheet pan. Transfer to oven.
On the second sheet pan, toss broccoli with olive oil, red pepper flakes, and some salt and pepper. Transfer to the oven.
Cook vegetables until tender, ~20 minutes for broccoli and 25 to 30 minutes for sweet potatoes.
When vegetables are nearly finished, heat a skillet with cooking oil over medium heat. Add onions and saute until very soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add Italian seasoning and some salt. Saute for 1 minute.
Stir in lentils until heated through.
When vegetables are done cooking, squeeze lemon juice over broccoli.
Place sweet potatoes, cut-side up, on serving plates. Gently mash them with a fork. Spoon lentils over sweet potatoes and top each one with herb garlic butter. Enjoy with broccoli on the side.
