A simple roasted vegetable salad or side dish. Nice during the cooler months. I love this for a easy packable lunch. You can make this a day or two ahead.

1large red peppersliced
1tablespoonolive oil

fresh parsley
for he tahini dressing:
3tablespoonslemon juice
2tablepsoons tahini
½teaspoonpaprika
1tablespoonmaple syrup
water to thinas needed
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425
In a large bowl whisk together olive oil and red pepper jelly. Add red onions and red peppers into the red pepper jelly mixture and toss well so that the vegetables are evenly coated. Spread on a parchment lined baking sheet, sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake at 425 for 20-25 minutes or until lightly chared and sticky.
Meanwhile make dressing by combining dressing ingredients. Blend until smooth and creamy using a whisk or a blender. I like this dressing a bit on the thin side so I can drizzle over my salad, so I add water, a couple tablespoons at a time to get the right texture.
To assemble the salad. Toss together the roasted vegetables with the lentils and about half of the dressing. Gently toss with you hands then place on a serving dish. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, green onions and radishes, then drizzle with remaining dresssing. Serve warm or room temperature.
Notes
I like leftovers in a packed lunch served over rice.
