Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce. Peel, then cut onion into 1/2-inch pieces. Peel, then cut sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Add sweet potatoes, onions, half the garlic salt and 1 tbsp oil to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with pepper, then toss to coat. Roast in the middle of the oven, stirring halfway through, until tender and golden-brown, 20-22 min.
Meanwhile, drain and rinse lentils. Add balsamic glaze, remaining garlic salt and 1 tbsp oil to a large bowl. Season with pepper, then whisk to combine. Add lentils, then stir to combine.
Meanwhile, heat a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add pepitas to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don’t burn!) Transfer to a plate.
Add sweet potatoes, onions and half the pepitas to the large bowl with lentils, then gently toss to combine. Divide salad between plates. Sprinkle feta and remaining pepitas over top.
