Preheat oven to 375F
Saute onion, carrots, celery and garlic over medium heat for 4-6 minutes, until onions are translucent and have just begun to caramelize, but arenβt sticking to the pan
Mash chickpeas in a large bowl with a potato masher or fork just to the point where there are almost none to no whole chickpeas left
Add vegetables and all other ingredients to bowl and mix together until well combined
Transfer mixture into a 8Γ4 or 9Γ5 inch loaf pan
Cover and bake for 30 minutes
In a small bowl, combine ingredients to make the glaze
Uncover, spread glaze evenly over the top and bake for an additional 20 minutes
Remove from oven and allow to rest for at least 15 minutes (preferably longer) before slicing; this will allow it to better hold itβs shape
Sprinkle with dried parsley for garnish before serving if desired
Enjoy!
