Protecting the Sacred

Commentators widely agree that the command to burn the leftovers was to protect the sanctity of the Passover lamb. This prevented the sacred elements from being profaned, used for superstitious rituals, or treated with contempt by the Egyptians. It was a clear instruction to treat what God had consecrated with the utmost respect.
