Nuts: Any combination of nuts can be used, but most nut roast recipes use a mixture of chopped almonds, walnuts, cashews, hazelnuts, or pecans.
Grains: The most commonly used grains in nut roast are bread crumbs, oats, and quinoa.
Vegetables: Chopped onions, garlic, carrots, celery, and mushrooms are often used to add flavor, texture, and nutrition.
Binders: Nut roast is held together with a binding agent such as eggs, ground flaxseed, mashed potatoes, or chickpea flour.
Seasonings: Nut roast can be seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices, such as thyme, sage, rosemary, cumin, paprika, or nutritional yeast.
The ingredients are typically mixed together and then baked in a loaf pan. Nut roast can be served as a main dish for vegetarian or vegan meals, or as a hearty side dish for meat-based meals. It is a popular holiday dish in many parts of the world, especially in the UK.
