About Lentil loaf

Lentil loaf is a nutritious, plant-based dish often enjoyed as a meatless alternative to traditional meatloaf. Originating from vegetarian and vegan cuisines, it features a hearty mix of cooked lentils, vegetables like onions and carrots, and binding ingredients such as breadcrumbs, oats, or flaxseed. Spices and seasonings—such as garlic, thyme, and smoked paprika—add depth of flavor, while a tangy tomato glaze typically tops the loaf for a satisfying finish. Packed with protein, fiber, and essential minerals like iron and folate, lentil loaf supports a balanced diet and promotes heart health. Its low saturated fat content makes it a healthier option compared to meat-based counterparts. However, its nutritional value can vary based on added ingredients like oil or sugar in the glaze. Versatile and wholesome, lentil loaf pairs well with salads, roasted vegetables, or mashed potatoes for a complete and satisfying meal.
