I only use recipes that call for a whole can. Maybe some time of vacuum sealer or airtight container?

What kind of beans are you referring to, one in particular? Just wondering, cause maybe we could help you find a recipe that would use the other half of a can.

If they are chickpeas (garbanzos) then you could roast them. The recipe is on our board, I think. If not I can post it. They are really good, like eating nuts kind of. Very tasty!

My only other suggestion would be to make a core soup using the leftover beans? Would probably keep better a few more days in a soup - or if you make a big batch you can freeze in individual portions for lunches or those times you just don't feel like cooking!
I think I might also try the roasted chickpeas as a snack!
