(Almost) Classic Chickpea Vegan Meatloaf

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly oil a 9 inch loaf pan and arrange a strip of parchment paper width-wise along the center, with just a bit hanging over the sides.

Step 2

Working in batches if needed, place all the meatloaf ingredients into food processor bowl and pulse until chickpeas are broken up and ingredients are well mixed, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Do not overblend. If you're working in batches, transfer each batch to a large mixing bowl when complete and then mix by hand.

Step 3

Press mixture into prepared loaf pan and bake 30 minutes.

Step 4

While meatloaf bakes, stir glaze ingredients together in a small bowl.

Step 5

Remove loaf from oven after 30 minutes and spoon glaze overtop of loaf. Bake another 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool at least 10 minutes before cutting.
