Vegetarian Christmas Not-Nut-Roast (Make Ahead) image

This easy vegetarian recipe for Christmas roast is nutfree. Lots of very finely diced veg and mushrooms are baked in a loaf tin with cheesy breadcrumbs on top, to make a moist veggie roast with a crunchy topping for those who would rather not have turkey. If you are making veggie gravy, keep all the trimmings from the vegetables. To freeze: Bake the roast and cool in the tin. Turn out, wrap in foil and freeze for up to 1 month. Defrost in the fridge overnight and reheat in the oven at 375F for 45 minutes, until piping hot throughout.
