vegan nut roast

This vegan nut roast is perfect for a special occasion and makes the perfect main course. It's packed with nuts and veggies and plenty of flavor too. Wonderful served with some vegan gravy!

Vegan Nut Roast

(96 grams) Cremini Mushrooms*

Tbsp Olive Oil

Onion (Finely Chopped)

tsp Crushed Garlic

Stalks Celery (Finely Chopped)

(110 grams) Grated Carrot*

(65 grams) Tomato Paste

Tbsp Dark Soy Sauce

(150 grams) Panko Breadcrumbs*

Tbsp Ground Flaxseed Meal

tsp Garlic Powder

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and spray a 9&#215;5 loaf pan with non-stick spray and line it with parchment paper so that there is overhang on either side. Set aside.

Add the raw mixed nuts to the food processor and process until finely chopped. Transfer them to a mixing bowl and set aside.

Add the cremini mushrooms to the food processor and process until finely chopped.

Add olive oil, chopped onion and crushed garlic to a frying pan along with the chopped mushrooms, chopped celery and grated carrot. Add in the tomato paste and soy sauce. Sauté until the veggies are softened.

Now add the breadcrumbs, ground flaxseed meal, garlic powder and finely chopped parsley to the mixing bowl with your crushed mixed nuts and mix them together. Add in your cooked veggie mix and mix together into a thick dough.

Transfer to a 9&#215;5 loaf pan lined with a parchment paper overhang (so it can be easily lifted out when cooked) and bake in the oven for 50 minutes.

Let it cool for 10 minutes before lifting it out of the loaf pan with the parchment paper overhang. Slice and serve!

Delicious served as is or with some vegan gravy. Leftovers keep very well in the fridge for 3-4 days.

If I wanted to make this into a wellington, do you think that would work?  The puff pastry wouldn't need baking for as long as the roast needs.... but if I flattened the mixture out a bit to fit the pastry then I'm thinking it would cook in 25 - 30 minutes with the pastry on. What are your thoughts?

Made this vegan nut roast tonight and I LOVE it. It is truly delicious ( even my husband likes it and he’s not doing vegan eating!) Will be making this again. Thanks Alison for this delicious recipe!

I made this today and it was delicious! I used some quick-cooking oats to replace part of the bread crumbs, and made a glaze for it (from another lentil loaf recipe).  It held together well when sliced.  I will definitely be making it again!  Thank you for the recipe, Alison!

So.... It was a huge hit.  Made exactly as instructions said (used 'old' bread which I processed in the food processor for the crumbs).  Baked in an 8x8 baking dish.  I put baking paper on the bottom of the dish and was able to slice and lift beautiful portions.  Served with Alison's rich vegan gravy.   A hit too.  Thank you Alison!!!

Wow from me !! . I made this for Christmas (been a while replying), and it was for my wife and I. We had it with delicious local (Sri Lankan )  roasted vegetables. So delicious and Hearty, and plenty of leftovers, which I froze. Continued to dine 2 days later and it was even more tasty. Something I tried with the rest : after partial thawing I was able to slice very thinly and had it on thick Rye bread with mustard sauce.....There Nut loaf sandwiches...!!!! I made it again for guests and they loved it . I will now do a 3rd bake run next week. Thank you Alison you are now MY "GO To" Vegan Recipe Website ..  :-) Please keep more recipes coming !

I cannot wait to make this!  What can I use to replace the flaxseed meal?  Or can I simply put some flaxseed in the blender?

I grind up a whole bag at a time (one lot of washing up) and then store n the freezer. I keep a small jar of the ground seeds in the fridge and that way they stay fresh for ages.

Hi Alison,

I love, love, love this recipe!  I am so happy to find a dish that mimics meatloaf without having to add a bunch of processed ingredients. It’s moist and tasty!  I’ve even eaten it at room temperature!

This was my first attempt at nut roast ever. It was easy to make, and delicious

First nutroast I've ever made. Love this! I didn't have any flaxseed so vitamixed some chia seeds instead. I can't eat walnuts and pecans etc so used a mix of almonds, cashews and brazil nuts. Also made the <a href="https://lovingitvegan.com/vegan-gravy/">gravy</a> from your site.
Wife cooked roast veggies and I sliced and added nut roast with the gravy and it was superb.

Add the nuts (pecans, walnuts and hazelnuts) to your food processor alongside the vegetable stock cube and pulse until the nuts are roughly ground and combined with the stock cube. Feel free to leave a few bigger chunks for a nice texture of your nut roast.

In a large bowl combine the nuts with the rest of the chopped ingredients.

Bake in the middle of your oven at 190C for 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before carefully removing it from your loaf tin.
