Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a loaf tin with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix the flaxseed meal and warm water, and set aside to thicken.
In a food processor, pulse the mixed nuts and rolled oats until coarsely ground.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion, minced garlic, diced carrot, and chopped celery. Sauté until soft, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet, and cook until the mushrooms release their liquid and start to brown.
Stir in soy sauce, tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, and parsley. Cook for another 2 minutes.
Combine the sautéed vegetables, nut-oat mixture, flaxseed mixture, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf tin and pack it down firmly. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden and firm.
While the nut roast is baking, prepare the vegetables. Peel and cut the potatoes, carrots, and parsnips into even-sized chunks.
Place the vegetables on a large baking tray, drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
Roast the vegetables in the oven for 40-45 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden and cooked through.
Prepare the vegan gravy as per packet instructions or your favorite homemade recipe.
Once everything is cooked, remove the nut loaf from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve the nut loaf slices with roasted vegetables and a generous topping of vegan gravy.
