Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F). Line a loaf tin with parchment paper and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water. Stir well and let it sit for 5 minutes until it forms a gel-like consistency (flax egg).
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sautΓ© for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the grated carrot, celery, and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables release their moisture and begin to brown.
Stir in the chopped chestnuts, walnuts, and almonds. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to lightly toast the nuts.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable-nut mixture with the flax egg, oat flour, nutritional yeast, thyme, rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and fresh parsley. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf tin. Press it down firmly to ensure the roast holds its shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is firm and golden brown.
Allow the nut roast to cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Carefully lift it out using the parchment paper and slice to serve.
