  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup vegetable broth (as needed for moisture)
  • For the Glaze:
  • 3 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • For the Roasted Vegetables:

  • 2 parsnips, sliced
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, pepper, and herbs (thyme, rosemary) to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, pulse chickpeas until mostly mashed but not puréed. Transfer to a large bowl.
  3. Add oats, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, parsley, soy sauce, tomato paste, olive oil, thyme, rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  4. Add vegetable broth as needed to achieve a moist but firm consistency.
  5. Press the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.
  6. Mix the glaze ingredients (ketchup, maple syrup, balsamic vinegar) in a small bowl and spread over the top of the loaf.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until firm and golden on top. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
  8. While loaf bakes, prepare the vegetables. Toss carrots, parsnips, onion, and zucchini with olive oil, herbs, salt, and pepper.
  9. Spread vegetables on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway, until tender and caramelized.
  10. Serve slices of chickpea loaf with roasted vegetables on the side.

Notes

  • Let the loaf rest before slicing for best texture.
  • Can be made ahead and reheated for easy meal prep.
  • Feel free to use other seasonal vegetables for roasting.
