This vegan lentil loaf is not just a great side dish for special occasions. It is full of good-for-you ingredients and on the table within 1 hour.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Autumn is approaching - and so is the desire for hearty comfort food<\/strong>! In addition to soups and stews<\/a>, I also regularly put a vegan meatloaf in the oven. I prefer the term hearty lentil loaf - it sounds healthier - and this recipe for oil-free vegan lentil loaf with oats and vegatables <\/strong>is definitely more wholesome than the original! It provides valuable fiber, vegetable protein, is low in fat <\/strong>and rich in minerals and vitamins<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n Although this vegan and gluten-free<\/strong> lentil roast is a delicious dish for your vegan Thanksgiving or Christmas<\/strong> menu, it is also great for weekly meal prep.<\/strong> Looking for a suitable side dish and a gravy recipe? No problem! How about my healthy mashed potatoes and my simple oil-free gravy<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n While traditional meatloaf is made with meat and bread, this simple vegan lentil roast is made with mainly wholesome ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Are you planning to serve this festive lentil roast on Thanksgiving, Christmas or for another special occasion<\/strong>? The following tips will save you a lot of time on the day <\/strong>itself by preparing a few things the day before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n LEVEL 1<\/strong>: Chop all the vegetables! Chopped onions, parsnips and celery will keep for a few days in a sealed container in the fridge. I would only chop the mushrooms on the day of baking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n LEVEL 2<\/strong>: Cook the vegetables beforehand - in other words, follow the recipe up to step 3 and put the mixture in the fridge overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n LEVEL 3<\/strong>: To save even more time on the big day, simply prepare the entire roast up to the point at which it would go into the oven - which is step 7. Then all you have to do the next day is preheat the oven, prepare the glaze, brush the lentil loaf with it and then it goes into the oven. The lentil loaf will be ready to serve in 40 minutes and you can prep some other things while it is in the oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carrots work just as well.<\/p> <\/div> Red lentils are not recommended for this recipe as they cook much softer than brown lentils. Green or brown lentils are therefore best.<\/p> <\/div> Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 4-5 days and can easily be reheated in the microwave.<\/p> <\/div> I haven't tested it yet, but it shouldn't be a problem. You can simply increase the amount of oat flour, for example. Alternatively, you can use flax meal: mix 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseeds with 3 tablespoons of water, put aside for a few minutes and then follow the recipe.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n I hope you\u2019ll give this wholesome vegan and gluten-free lentil loaf recipe a try.
