Seasoned Brown Lentils

Need an easy lunch or dinner idea? Try brown lentils! Alex and I love eating lentils for lunches or dinners, since they're full of plant-based protein and keep us full for hours afterwards. This brown lentils recipe results in perfectly seasoned, tender lentils. You can eat them as-is, or add them as a component to tacos, salads, and more. They're a simple protein that makes an easy vegan recipe or healthy dinner!

While I'll obviously be going for the blue splatter colorway, the plates also come in solid blue, butter yellow, and classic white options, giving you plenty of room to mix and match pieces for a tablescape
