Ingredients

Meatloaf

2 tbsp olive oil
1 yellow onion
2 small carrots
4 cloves garlic
30 oz chickpeas
1 1/4 cup breadcrumbs vegan
2 tbsp ground flaxseed
3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
1/3 cup ketchup
1 tsp liquid smoke

Topping

1/3 cup ketchup
1 tsp low sodium soy sauce
1/2 tsp liquid smoke

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F/190 degrees C, and lightly spray a 9-inch loaf pan with oil.
Mince the onion, carrots, and garlic. Drain and rinse the chickpeas, saving the chickpea water for something else.
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan. Add the onion, carrots, and garlic, and sauté for 4-5 minutes or until the onions are translucent.
Meanwhile, add the chickpeas to a large bowl. Mash with a fork or potato masher until they're well broken up, but not completely smooth and mushy.
Add the veggies and all remaining ingredients to the bowl with the chickpeas and carefully combine.
Press the mixture into the loaf pan. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Combine the topping ingredients in a small bowl.
Add the topping to the meatloaf, spreading evenly. Bake for another 15 minutes, uncovered.
Let sit for 20 minutes before slicing. Top with fresh parsley & serve with my easy vegan mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
