  • In a large saucepan, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the carrot ,parsnip and cook until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the onion and mushrooms. Cook another 3-4 minutes, until the onions are semi-translucent.

  • Transfer the mixture to a parchment paper-lined loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake the loaf for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Take it out of the oven.
  • To make the glaze, combine the ketchup and maple syrup in a small bowl. Brush the loaf and return it to the oven for additional 15 min, serving the other half for later.
  • When the glaze is nice and carmelised take it out of the oven and let it cool completely.,then slice and serve.
