hourThis is a great dish to combine with our recipe Thanksgiving Sides: Eat Plants, Not Birds! It is more of a “main dish”, but hey, we consider mashed potatoes a main dish too, so let’s not discriminate. 🙂
This recipe (alongside our Thanksgiving Sides) will be prepared during Episode 7 of ‘Cook Live with Chrissy & Dr. Kristi’ on November 8, 2022. Cook along with us next time and join us for one of our upcoming live episodes.

Ingredients
- The Pre-Saute
1/4 cup 1/4 veggie broth
1 small 1 diced onion
1 cup 1 mushrooms (baby bella suggested)
1 med 1 diced carrot
2 2 diced celery stalks
1/2 cup 1/2 diced red pepper
3 cloves 3 minced garlic
1/2 tsp 1/2 salt (optional)
1/2 tsp 1/2 ground black pepper
- Loafing around
1/2- 1 cup 1/2- 1 breadcrumbs
1/2 cup 1/2 old fashioned/ rolled oats
2 15oz 2 cans of chickpeas that have been rinsed and patted dry
1/4 cup 1/4 chopped parsley, plus more for garnish
3 tbsp 3 nutritional yeast
2 tbsp 2 soy sauce
2 tbsp 2 vegan Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup 1/4 ketchup (can sub 2 T tomato paste)
1/2 tsp 1/2 liquid smoke
- Top it off
1/3 c 1/3 ketchup
1 tsp 1 vegan Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375° in line a 9 inch loaf pan with parchment (or use a silicone one).
- Sauté the onions, mushrooms, carrots, celery, red pepper, and garlic in the broth over medium heat until the onions are translucent (about 5 minutes). Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Pulse the toasted bread (if making your own breadcrumbs) and oats in a food processor just enough to break them into tiny pieces – otherwise you will make it into flour.
- Mash the chickpeas in a large bowl with a potato masher. Avoid making them overly mushy – just break them apart.
- Add the cooked vegetable mixture, oats, breadcrumbs and all the remaining ingredients to the chickpeas. At this point if the mixture seems too moist as if it won’t hold together as a loaf, add an extra 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs stir with a large spoon until well combined.
- Press the loaf mixture into the pan, pushing down evenly with your hand. Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
- After 35 minutes, remove the foil and spray the ketchup topping evenly on top of the loaf and bake for another 10 minutes, uncovered. Remove from the oven after 10 minutes.
- Allow to sit for at least 15 minutes before slicing so it binds together.
- Garnish with parsley and enjoy!
