Chickpea Loaf w/ Spicy Ketchup

Chickpea Loaf w/ Spicy Ketchup

With so much to celebrate around the corner, I thought I’d create this recipe for you to impress your guests. This Chickpea Loaf is everything but dull and will make any meat eater fan of meatloaf a believer.

How to make a Chickpea Loaf?

It may look a little cumbersome but trust me the only out of the ordinary ingredient you will need here is “Worchestire Sauce” that is vegan of course. But don’t sweat it if you don’t have it just replace it with a little soy sauce or coconut aminos or completely omit it. Before we begin grab a loaf pan, spatula and a clean kitchen towel in case of spills. Remember it’s always easier if you just have all your ingredients lined up for easy access this is also known as “mise en place”. Shall we begin!

  • Add the mixture from the food processor to your loaf pan and make sure to compact tightly with a spoon or spatula. Place in the oven for 30 minutes at 375F.
  • At the 30 minute mark remove the loaf pan from the oven and give your glaze another mix.
  • Brush the Chickpea Loaf with the Spicy Ketchup Glaze.
  • Place back in the oven for 20 minutes more with the glaze so it can caramelize.
