Steps to make Smokey lentils with roasted veg:

Put in the over for 30 mins.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the lentils according to the packet. Finely chop the spring onions and basil. Then add all three to a bowl with half a tsp chipotle paste and mix together.
  3. Season the lentils with a pinch of salt and top with sunflower seeds (optional)
  4. After 30 mins remove the veg from the oven, mix in 1 tsp chipotle paste, the mushrooms and mix together. Return to the oven for another 15 minutes.
  5. Once cooked, remove the veg. Squeeze the garlic and shallots out of their skins (they’ll be hot so use the back of a spoon if needed and mix back into the veg.
  6. Serve the veg on a bed of lentils. Top with a tbsp of Greek yogurt and a grating of Parmesan (optional)
