Tips:

Prep your vegetables and lentils beforehand: Dicing the sweet potatoes and carrots, and rinsing the lentils, will save you time when you're ready to assemble the packets.
Don't overcrowd the packets: Make sure to leave some room at the top of each packet so that the vegetables and lentils can cook evenly.
Seal the packets tightly: Use parchment paper or foil to seal the packets tightly, so that the steam doesn't escape. You can also use a damp cloth to help seal the edges of the packets.
Cook the packets on a baking sheet: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the packets from burning.
Let the packets cool slightly before opening: This will help to prevent steam from escaping and burning you.

Conclusion:

These spice market sweet potato and lentil packets are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy a meal. They're easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give these packets a try.
