This Vegan Lentil Meatloaf is the ultimate plant-based comfort food, delivering all the savory satisfaction of the classic without any meat. A hearty mixture of brown lentils, mushrooms, onions, oats, and walnuts is seasoned with traditional meatloaf spices like thyme and smoked paprika, then bound together with a flax "egg." It bakes up firm and sliceable, with a sweet and tangy tomato-based glaze caramelized on top. Packed with protein, fiber, and umami flavor, this loaf is perfect for a Sunday family dinner, holiday centerpiece, or for meal prep throughout the week. Serve it with classic sides like creamy mashed potatoes and green beans for a completely comforting, wholesome meal.
