Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C and boil a full kettle. Put the lentils in a pan, cover with boiled water and add a pinch of salt. Cook for 15-20 minutes until al dente; drain.

Step 2

Meanwhile, peel the carrots and cut into chunky matchsticks. Tip on to a baking tray. Mix through a little olive oil and seasoning. Roast for 25 minutes until golden brown, stirring every 5 minutes or so.

Step 3

To make the dressing, finely chop the chilli, discarding the seeds. Combine in a bowl with the honey and vinegar. Add 2-3 tablespoons olive oil and lemon juice to taste. Season.

Step 4

To pack: Mix the lentils with the carrots and spoon into lunchboxes. Top with the rocket and Parmesan. Pack the dressing separately.

Step 5

• Add a few pieces of crispy chorizo/bacon. • Swap the honey for maple syrup. • Add a finely sliced raw red onion.
