Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 cup of carrots, diced
• 1 cup of celery, diced
• 1 cup of green beans, chopped
• 1 cup of frozen peas
• 1 cup of frozen corn
• 1 teaspoon of thyme
• 1 teaspoon of rosemary
• 1 teaspoon of sage
• 1 cup of vegetable broth
• 1 can of lentils, drained and rinsed
• 1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 tablespoon of tomato paste
• 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1/4 cup of milk
• 2 tablespoons of butter
• 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the carrots, celery, green beans, peas, corn, thyme, rosemary, and sage to the skillet. Stir and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Add the lentils, chickpeas, and tomato paste. Stir to combine and let cook for 5 minutes.
5. In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and add the diced potatoes. Cook for 10-15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
6. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the milk, butter, and salt and pepper to taste. Mash until smooth.
7. Transfer the vegetable mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread the mashed potatoes on top, covering the vegetables completely.
8. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the mashed potatoes.
9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the shepherd's pie is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly on top.

• Feel free to add your favorite vegetables to the dish or swap out any of the ones listed in the recipe.
• For a vegan option, use plant-based milk and omit the cheese or use a vegan cheese alternative.
• If you have leftovers, they can easily be reheated for a delicious and easy meal the next day.
