Finely chop the carrots and onions to form an aromatic base. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pan, then add the vegetables and red lentils, allowing them to cook together and absorb flavour. Afterwards, add water and leave to cook until soft.

Transfer the mixture into a bowl. Combine with fresh breadcrumbs and sun-dried tomatoes until smooth. Then shape into burgers using a pastry cutter or by hand.

Place the burgers on a baking tray in the oven. Use the multitech cooking function on your Smeg oven and follow the instructions for recommended temperature and time settings.

Grill the vegetables using the Smeg griddle until tender and lightly charred. Then, carefully plate the burgers alongside the grilled vegetables, creating a visually appealing dish with vibrant colours and varied textures.
