Snobby Joes and Roasted Carrots

I got the Snobby Joe recipe from the Veganomicon cookbook. They're tasty and really easy to make, but note that the recipe makes a lot, so you'll definitely have leftovers for lunch.
The roasted carrot recipe I got from Cooking Light. These were surprisingly good. The carrots get a nice, sweet flavor after being cooked, and that paired with the cilantro make for a really interesting taste combo.

Roasted Carrots Ingredients
-6-10 carrots, sliced vertically
~2 T olive oil
-1/2 tsp pepper and salt to taste
-1/2 tsp cumin and cayenne pepper
~3 T chopped cilantro

Steps
1. Slice carrots vertically.
2. Toss with other ingredients.

 
3. Cook at 450 for 25 minutes, stirring once after 12 minutes.
4. Top with cilantro.

Snobby Joe ingredients
-1 package buns
-2 tsp oregano
-1 C lentils
-3 T chili powder
-8 oz tomato sauce
-4 oz tomato paste
-1 onion diced
-1 green pepper diced (optional-I forgot this and don't think it's necessary)
-3 cloves garlic, chopped
-3 T maple syrup
-1 T mustard
-1/2 tsp salt

Snobby Joe Steps:
1. Add 1 C lentils and 4 C water to a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil and then let simmer for 20 minutes, or until lentils are soft.









2. After lentils have been cooking for 10 minutes, saute onion (and green pepper) for about 7 minutes. Add garlic and saute another minute.
3. Add in cooked lentils, tomato sauce and paste, maple syrup, mustard, salt, oregano, and chili powder.

4. Stir well and let cook for about another 5-10 minutes or until heated through.
5. Let sit another 5 minutes to let flavors mingle.
6. Serve on top of toasted buns (I prefer open face).
