  • If lentils aren't your favourite, try canned butter beans or chickpeas. Alternatively, you could use a smaller can of beans and add in shrimp or sausage to the sheet pan.
  • You could also mix and match beans using a small can of each (for example, lentils and chickpeas or lentils and white beans)
