- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup walnuts, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast

Sticky Asian Glaze
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water to thicken
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onions and minced garlic until fragrant and golden.
- Add the chopped mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, shredded carrots, walnuts, nutritional yeast, gluten-free breadcrumbs, sautéed vegetables, soy sauce, flax egg, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and press down firmly.
- For the glaze, whisk together all the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat, bringing it to a simmer to thicken. Pour half of this glaze over the meatloaf, reserving the rest for serving.
- Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until heated through and slightly firm. In the last 10 minutes, brush the remaining glaze on top.
- Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
