Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 220’C.
Prepare the ingredients. Peel and chop the vegetables.
Place the vegetables in the roasting dish. Pour extra-virgin olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss to spread evenly. Place the dish in the oven and roast for 40 minutes. Stir the vegetables after 15 and 30 minutes of the roasting process.
In the meantime, prepare the remaining ingredients. Place cashews in a medium bowl and pour boiling water over them. Set aside. Chop the onion and garlic. Wash the lentils.
In a large pot, heat extra-virgin olive oil to medium, add chopped onion, and sauté until fragrant and translucent. Add garlic and bay leaves. Sauté for 2-3 more minutes.
Add lentils and pour in vegetable stock. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Prepare cashew cream: in a food processor, place soaked and drained cashews, add lemon juice, onion powder, and salt. Pour in the plant milk. Blend until very smooth.
Incorporate cashew cream into the lentil stew and cook for 10 more minutes, until the lentils are tender, and the cream has reduced.
Prepare the topping: in a medium bowl, mix pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, extra-virgin olive oil, and salt.
Remove the vegetables from the oven. Place the vegetables in a bowl. Transfer the lentil stew into the roasting dish, spread evenly, and top with roasted vegetables. Spread the topping and place the dish back in the oven for 12 more minutes.
