- 4 cups halved or quartered Brussels sprouts
- 1 red onion, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
- 19 oz can lentils, drained and rinsed
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 tbsp minced fresh rosemary
For the Maple Mustard Tahini Dressing
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 2 tbsp grainy, Dijon, or white wine herb mustard
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp cold water
- 1 garlic clove, pressed

For the Toppings

How to Make It
Step 1: Prepare Your Oven and Sheet Pan
Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
Step 2: Whisk Up the Dressing
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the tahini, mustard, maple syrup, lemon juice, pressed garlic, and seasonings. Gradually add the cold water, whisking continuously until the dressing is creamy and smooth. Adjust the thickness by adding more water if desired.
Step 3: Combine and Coat
In a large bowl, mix the lentils with the sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and fresh rosemary. Toss everything together until the veggies are well-coated and ready for roasting.
Step 4: Roast to Perfection
Spread the veggie mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes, then give everything a good toss before roasting for an additional 10 minutes. This ensures even cooking and caramelization.
Step 5: Assemble and Serve
Once roasted, transfer the veggies to a large serving bowl. Add the chopped dates and pumpkin seeds. Drizzle generously with the maple mustard tahini dressing. Toss everything together to ensure the flavors meld beautifully.
For a more rustic presentation, you can serve it directly from the sheet pan. Enjoy your Healthy Egg Salad inspired roasted veggie bowl warm or at room temperature for peak flavor!
Tips and Variations
Maximize Your Sheet Pan: Use the largest sheet pan available to ensure even roasting. A 21×15 inch pan works perfectly.
Swap Ingredients: No sweet potatoes? Use butternut squash or carrots. Prefer broccoli over Brussels sprouts? Go for it!
Add Your Protein: This salad is versatile enough to serve alongside roasted chicken or topped with your favorite protein.
Onion Options: Red onions add color and flavor, but shallots can be a milder alternative.
Herb Flexibility: If fresh rosemary isn’t on hand, 1 tsp of dried rosemary will do the trick.
