What you need:

For the roasted vegetables:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
½ teaspoon ground sage
¾ teaspoon salt 
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 large parsnips, peeled, quartered, cored, and cut into 1½-inch pieces 
1 pound Brussels sprouts, halved 
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

For the lentils:
1 cup green lentils
5 cups water

For the dressing:
¼ cup tahini
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
3 to 4 tablespoons water
¼ teaspoon black pepper

¼ cup shelled pumpkin seeds, for topping

What you do:

  1. 1.  For the roasted vegetables, preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a small cup, combine oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic, onion powder, thyme, and sage. Mix to combine.
  2. 2.  Onto a large sheet pan, place all vegetables. Drizzle with oil and vinegar mixture and toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 40 to 50 minutes, stopping to mix after about 25 minutes.
