Vinaigrette:

1 small shallot, minced

3 tbsp sherry vinegar

1 tbsp honey

1 tbsp grainy mustard

⅓ cup olive oil

¼ tsp kosher salt

½ tsp black pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange sweet potato on prepared pan; drizzle with 2 tsp of the canola oil and season with half each of the salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Bake for 20 minutes. Toss and push potatoes to one side of pan. Add zucchini to other side of pan; drizzle zucchini with 2 tsp of the canola oil; sprinkle with a pinch each of the salt and pepper.

In large bowl, whisk together shallot, sherry vinegar, honey, mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper until combined. Add lentil mixture, roasted vegetables and cranberries; toss to coat.

4 Schneiders® Italian Parmesan Smokies 

2 tsp olive oil

½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes

12 very small (4-inch) soft flour tortillas, warmed

1 jarred roasted red pepper, drained and diced

¼ cup sour cream

Pinch lemon zest

¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

2 tbsp torn fresh basil or Italian parsley
