1 cup tinned lentils

Directions
Wash carrots and beets before chopping as advised above, but leave the skin on*
Toss carrots & beets in olive oil and spread evenly on a lined baking tray
Roast in oven at 180°C for 20-30min until softened (beets may cook quicker than carrots depending on the size you’ve cut them)
Meanwhile, arrange salad leaves on a serving platter, and spoon some lentils on top
Once the carrots and beets are done, layer with remaining ingredients on top of your salad leaves, drizzle with balsamic vinegar & olive oil dressing and season with salt & pepper.
