Healthy Tater Tot Casserole
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp oil
- 2 cups mushrooms (white or cremini), finely diced
- 1/2 large onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 cups red split lentils dry
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder optional
- 1 can coconut milk
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables as well as green beans OR green peas
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp pepper or to taste
- 1 bag tater tots frozen, around 800g
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
Heat oil in a non-stick pan or pot and add finely chopped and diced mushrooms, onion, garlic and a pinch of salt, and cook for 2-3 minutes until mushrooms have slightly softened and cooked down.
Add in dry red split lentils, vegetable broth, thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn heat down to a medium low and simmer for about 10 minutes until the lentils have mostly cooked and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Mix in canned coconut milk, frozen vegetables, frozen corn, salt and pepper.
Transfer onto a large casserole dish evenly and top with a layer of frozen tater tots to cover.
Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes at 400 degrees F or until the tater tots are cooked through.
Serve as a main dish or a side! Enjoy!
