Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat; add onion and garlic. Saute until fragrant and slightly soft, 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 4

Combine water and egg substitute in a large bowl; add onion mixture, vegan beef crumbles, baguette, 1/4 cup ketchup, and parsley. Mix together by hand until well combined. Transfer mixture into the prepared loaf pan.

Step 5

Meanwhile, stir remaining ketchup and brown sugar together in a small bowl.

Step 6

Remove the loaf from the oven and brush with the ketchup mixture. Continue to bake until browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, about 30 minutes more. Let rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
