Heat the olive oil in a small pot over medium heat. Add the onion and carrot, then sauté for 5 minutes until the onion is translucent. Stir in the garlic, cumin, and smoked paprika and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the lentils, textured vegetable protein, water, and salt to the pot. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until the lentils are soft and the stew has thickened.
Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the spinach until wilted, then add the lemon juice to brighten the flavors before serving.
