Make
- Heat oven to 400F / 204C.
- Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and then onions and sweet potatoes to heated oil. Saute until onions are tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add brussels sprouts, garlic and paprika and saute for 2 minutes more. Stir in stock, tomato paste and lentils and bring to a simmer. Taste and season with some salt and pepper.
- Cover skillet with foil and transfer to oven. Bake until sweet potatoes are tender and sauce is thick, 15 to 18 minutes.
- While vegetables are baking, grate cheese and combine with panko and olive oil.
- After the initial bake time, remove vegetables from oven and remove foil. Top with cheese / panko.
- Turn on the oven’s broiler and broil just until the topping is golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Slice naan or pita into wedges. If you’d like them warm, spread on a sheet pan and toast on a lower rack in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Serve vegetable skillet with naan / pita wedges and yogurt. Enjoy!
