Lentil Loaf and Roasted Potato with Caramelized Onion Sauce

Today we’re putting together a plant-based “meat loaf.” This loaf has a lip-smacking array of flavors while delivering a powerful nutritional load. It takes a little time to assemble but leaves a lasting impression.

While this meal might be reminiscent of some great Sunday dinners from the past, it’s not your Grandma’s meatloaf. It’s better. It’s topped with a tangy homemade barbecue sauce and accompanied by roasted potatoes and caramelized onions.
