Easy Vegan Meatloaf Recipes

VEGAN MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Sauté the onion and garlic for about 2 minutes. Then add the chopped carrots and cook them for another 3 minutes.
• Put about 6 tablespoons of the cooked lentils aside. Put all of the ingredients except for the spices into a blender or food processor and blend until you have a sticky but chunky mixture. It's very important that you make sure to not overdo it, so the vegan meatloaf will still have some texture.
• Add the remaining lentils and season with thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, and fresh parsley. Preheat your oven to 350 °F.
• Place the mixture into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Make sure to let the parchment paper overlap the loaf pan, so it's easier to remove the lentil loaf once it's done.
• Bake the vegan meatloaf for 30 minutes. In the meantime make the tomato glaze. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk well.
• After the 30 minutes of baking time are over, take the vegan meatloaf out of the oven and evenly spread the tomato glaze on top. Then return it to the oven and bake it for another 15 minutes at 350 °F.
• Allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then carefully lift it out with the parchment paper. Slice and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.

EASY VEGAN MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375° F. Line a loaf pan or dish parchment paper or aluminum foil.
• Add the chickpeas to a food processor, then pulse until slightly more than half is mashed. It's okay if there are some chunks. Avoid over-processing the chickpeas, as this will make the finished meatloaf too mushy. Transfer the chickpeas to a large mixing bowl.
• Heat about 2 tablespoons of oil to a large skillet. Add the onion, celery, and carrots. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes over medium heat, or until the onion is fragrant and tender. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Let cool for about a minute, then add to the food processor. Pulse until crumbly and add to the bowl.
• Add the fresh herbs, salt, pepper, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, liquid smoke, breadcrumbs, non-dairy milk, and ground flax. Stir until fully combined. Try to form a small patty, as if you were making veggie burgers. The mixture should clump and stick together. If it's too dry, slowly add non-dairy milk.
• Transfer the mixture into the lined loaf dish. Press down until to flatten; make sure it's very compact. Bake for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the meatloaf glaze. Combine all the glaze ingredients. Spoon over the meatloaf and return to the oven. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and the edges are crispy. Let sit for 15 minutes before slicing.
