Barbeque Chickpea Loaf with Paprika Glaze

Barbeque Chickpea Loaf with Paprika Glaze Recipe

Ingredients:

• 3 cups cooked chickpeas (equivalent to about 1 cup dry or 2-15oz cans)
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1.5 cups oat flour (or approximately 2 cups rolled oats, ground into flour; substitute with regular flour for non-GF option)
• 1 tsp mustard
• 2 tbsp soy sauce (substitute with tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (substitute with white vinegar or lemon juice)
• 2 tbsp tomato paste or ketchup
• 3 tbsp favorite barbeque sauce
• 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1 tsp paprika
• 2 tsp dried parsley
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
• 1/2 tsp dried sage
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp cayenne (optional, for spice)
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp salt

For the Glaze:

• 1/4 cup favorite barbeque sauce
• 2 tsp tomato paste or ketchup
• 1/2 tsp paprika

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic for 4-6 minutes until the onions are translucent and slightly caramelized, ensuring they don’t stick to the pan.
3. Prepare Chickpea Mixture: In a large bowl, mash the cooked chickpeas with a potato masher or fork until almost no whole chickpeas remain.
4. Combine Ingredients: To the mashed chickpeas, add the sautéed vegetables and all other listed ingredients, including oat flour (or ground rolled oats), mustard, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, tomato paste (or ketchup), barbeque sauce, nutritional yeast, paprika, dried parsley, cumin, rosemary, sage, thyme, cayenne (if using), black pepper, and salt. Mix everything together until well combined.
5. Transfer to Loaf Pan: Transfer the chickpea mixture into a greased 8×4 or 9×5 inch loaf pan, ensuring it is evenly spread and packed.
6. Bake First Half: Cover the loaf pan with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
7. Prepare Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the glaze: barbeque sauce, tomato paste (or ketchup), and paprika.
8. Apply Glaze: After 30 minutes, remove the foil covering from the loaf pan. Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the chickpea loaf.
9. Bake Second Half: Return the uncovered loaf pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes until the glaze is set and slightly caramelized.
10. Rest and Serve: Remove the chickpea loaf from the oven and allow it to rest for at least 15 minutes, preferably longer, before slicing. This resting period helps the loaf hold its shape.
11. Garnish and Enjoy: Optionally, garnish the sliced chickpea loaf with dried parsley before serving. Slice and enjoy your flavorful Barbeque Chickpea Loaf with Paprika Glaze!
