Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400° F and position a rack in the center.
  2. Toss the carrots and shallots with olive oil, maple syrup, spices, and salt. Spread in an even layer on a sheet pan. Roast for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway, until the carrots are tender and caramelized.
  3. To make the lentils, bring about 4 cups of salted water to a boil. Add the dry lentils and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 20-25 minutes or until the lentils are tender but not yet mushy. Drain excess water.
  4. Allow the lentils to cool slightly before stirring in the remaining ingredients. Season with kosher salt to taste.
  5. Serve the lentils and roasted carrots over hummus with a drizzle of olive oil.
