Heat the oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sweet potato pieces, carrots, apple, and onion. Sauté the vegetables for about 10 minutes, until they are tender and the onions begin to caramelize.

Add the spices and lentils: Once the vegetables are cooked, stir in the lentils, fresh ginger, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, and vegetable stock. Mix well, then bring to a boil. Simmer for about 30 minutes, until all the ingredients are tender and softened.
