For added flavor, consider using vegetable broth instead of water to cook the rice and lentils. Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach. A sprinkle of nutritional yeast before baking adds a cheesy flavor. This bake is even better the next day, making it perfect for meal prepping.
