In a large pan, sauté the onion, garlic, carrot, and celery until soft.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils, sautéed vegetables, bread crumbs, eggs, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Press the mixture into the prepared loaf pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard to make the glaze.
