How To Make Vegan Nut Roast

You will find full instructions and measurements in the recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a summary of the process to go along with the process photos.

• First up you want to crush some raw mixed nuts (cashews, almonds, walnuts, pecans, brazil nuts) in the food processor. Transfer them to a mixing bowl and set aside, we’ll come back to this shortly.

• Then add some cremini mushrooms (also called baby bella/portobellini/brown button mushrooms) to your food processor and process those until very finely chopped.

• Add onion to the food processor and process until finely chopped.

• Add celery to the food processor and process until finely chopped. Grate carrots (not pictured) and you’re ready to go.

• Add olive oil and crushed garlic to a frying pan along with the chopped onion, chopped mushrooms, chopped celery and grated carrot. Add tomato paste and soy sauce.
• Sauté until the veggies are softened.

• Now go back to the mixing bowl with your chopped nuts (from above), and add in vegan breadcrumbs, ground flaxseed meal, garlic powder and finely chopped parsley and mix them together.

• Add in your cooked veggie mix and mix together into a thick dough.

• Transfer to a 9×5 loaf pan lined with a parchment paper overhang (so it can be easily lifted out when cooked) and bake in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for 50 minutes.

• Let it cool for 10 minutes before lifting it out of the loaf pan with the parchment paper overhang. Slice and serve!

How To Serve Vegan Nut Roast

It can be served hot or cold, though it’s most ideal served hot and drizzled with vegan gravy or vegan mushroom gravy. But if you have leftovers they can also be served cold.

It’s wonderful alongside sides like vegan mashed potatoes or vegan scalloped potatoes or a vegan green bean casserole.

Make Ahead, Storing and Freezing

Make Ahead: This nut roast can be made a day ahead, up the point of baking it in the oven. And then instead of baking, cover and refrigerate. When you’re ready the next day, bake it as usual.

Storing: This nut roast keeps very well in a covered container in the fridge for 3-4 days and can be served cold or reheated in the microwave.

Freezing: It is also freezer friendly if you’d like to freeze it. Let it cool completely before freezing and then thaw in the fridge overnight. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until heated through.
