Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced carrot and zucchini to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Mix in the cooked lentils, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush it lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush again. Repeat with 2 more sheets to make a stack of 4 sheets.
Cut the stacked phyllo sheets into 4 equal rectangles.
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the veggie crumble mixture onto one half of each rectangle. Fold the other half over to form a triangle or rectangle and press the edges firmly to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Place the pockets onto the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops lightly with melted butter.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden and crispy.
While the pockets are baking, prepare the creamy mango chutney. In a blender or food processor, combine the diced mango, Greek yogurt, cilantro leaves, lime juice, and sugar. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Serve the baked veggie crumble pockets with the creamy mango chutney on the side for dipping.
