Fry the onion until it is nearly see through, but not browned. Then immediately add the carrot and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are just softened. Remove from stove-top. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Pour the chickpeas into a large bowl, and smash with a fork or potato masher. Combine the remaining ingredients in the bowl - garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, lemon zest, basil, oregano, sage, breadcrumbs, vital wheat gluten, and vegetable broth. Mix well and knead for a few minutes - the gluten will help everything stick together. Form the mixture into a large ball. Divide the ball into two pieces, and shaped into meatloaf loaves. Lightly grease a baking sheet, and arrange the loaves. Brush both sides of the loaves with a bit of olive oil. Bake for 20 minutes. Flip the meatloaf loaves, brush some ketchup onto the top of the loaves as a glaze, and bake 10 additional minutes. Top with fresh parsley, and serve.

2.Vegan Mini Meatloaf

This vegan meatloaf includes a simple glaze that whips up in just a few minutes. The base of this recipe is tempeh, which makes it very filling and provides a rich, meaty texture. This is my personal favorite for serving to non-vegan friends.

3.Bean and Lentil Loaf

For something a little more traditional, this vegan meatloaf is made from kidney beans and lentils, which gives it a texture more similar to ordinary meatloaf. Flavor is added with garlic, onions, carrots, walnuts, and almonds. And we use a vegan egg substitute to hold everything together.
