Gluten Free Vegan Lentil Loaf with Vegetables

Vegan Lentil loaf is a perfect main dish for Sunday dinner! I was trying to decide what to make for dinner tonight when I decided to try something new. Lentil Loaf has been on my recipe radar for a while now; ever since my friend made one when they had us over for dinner several years ago. I figured today was as good a day as any to give it a go, so I got to work cooking down some green lentils. I was excited and a little skeptical about how it was going to turn out; but the lentil loaf turned out amazing. I am adding it to my mental list of favorite recipes that I need to have again. 

This recipe is made with green lentils and fresh vegetables. Lentil loaf is vegan, wheat free and nut free. If you are making this recipe gluten-free, be sure that you confirm your oats and vegan Worcestershire sauce is also gluten-free.
