Cook the Lentils: Rinse the lentils under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the lentils and 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 25-30 minutes until tender but not mushy. Drain thoroughly in a fine-mesh sieve, pressing to remove all excess water.
Sauté the Vegetables: While lentils cook, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add the mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes, until they release their moisture and brown. Stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, dried sage, and smoked paprika, and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Combine the Loaf Mixture: In a large bowl, add about half of the well-drained, cooked lentils. Mash them with a potato masher or the back of a fork to create a pasty texture. Add the remaining whole lentils, the sautéed vegetable mixture, vegetable broth, soy sauce, and rolled oats. Mix until everything is well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard until smooth.
Assemble and Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Press the lentil mixture firmly and evenly into the pan. Spread half of the glaze over the top. Bake for 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, spread the remaining glaze on top, and bake for another 15 minutes, until the loaf is firm and the glaze is caramelized.
Rest and Serve: Let the lentil loaf rest in the pan for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing. This step is crucial to help it set and prevent crumbling. Slice and serve warm.
