Method

Heat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Tip the sweet potatoes onto a baking tray and drizzle over 1 tbsp oil. Toss well, season and roast for 25-30 mins until golden-edged and tender throughout.
Put the mushrooms in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Heat ½ tbsp oil in a frying pan over a medium high heat. Scrape the mushrooms into the pan, add a pinch of salt, and fry for 8-10 mins until all the water has evaporated and they’re starting to look dry. Add the garlic, fry for a minute more, then remove from the heat.
Pat the drained lentils with kitchen paper to remove any remaining water and tip into the food processor, no need to clean it. Break up one of the rolls into small breadcrumbs and add to the processor with the paprika and the cooked mushrooms. Pulse until combined, then transfer to a bowl and stir in the flour to make a mixture you can mould easily with your hands. Divide the mix into 4 thick patties.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large nonstick frying pan over a medium high heat. Fry the burgers for 3-5 mins until golden and crisp, then flip carefully with a spatula and cook for a further 3-5 mins on the other side.
Meanwhile, split and toast the remaining 4 buns in the toaster or under the grill. Roughly chop the lettuce and divide between the base of each bun. Top with a burger, then the tomato and onion slices. Add the bun lids and serve with the sweet potato wedges.
